MIDAS Process
● Create Nodes, start in origin 0,0 substructure. Input Material’s Properties
*1-10 are column properties and 11-18 are beam properties
*Do not check the Consider Shear Deformation and Consider Warping Effect.
Under Scale factor Select all Column Properties and input in Iyy and Izz 0.7 while 0.35 in Beam Properties.
● Extrude >Element Type for beams and column is under “Beam” with >GradeC3000, >select column section. *For
Sub structure use minimum section of beam as B200x350, column C200x400, for Intermediate beam is
B200x400.
● Create Elements for beams.
● Select the Sub>structure and copy it for 2F, 3F, etc. in Structure >Control Data >Building Generation
● Merge the whole structure
● Structure Type >3d >Lump Mass >Convert to X-Y-Z >Align to Top of Beam >Align to Top of Slab
● Boundary >Define Supports > D-ALL then select all the bottom NODES ONLY then APPLY
● Boundary >Spring Surface >Distributed Spring >Local Axis Z >Width 0.2m >Comp.Type >Modulus 10800kn/m3
then select the Substructure BEAM then APPLY
● Boundary >Spring Surface >Distributed Spring >Local Axis Z >Width 0.2m >LINEAR Type >Modulus 10800kn/m3
then select the Substructure COLUMN then APPLY
● Boundary >Spring Surface >Distributed Spring >Local Axis Y >Width 0.4m >LINEAR Type >Modulus 10800kn/m3
then select the Substructure COLUMN then APPLY
