► Members of a group are of the same type (beam, column, brace, wall, slab). The following conditions are considered to auto-generate design groups, and the groups may be manually modified by the user. The program offers the ability to run graphic post-processing on the results, and the outputs can be seen in tabular or list format as well.ĭesign Capabilities Design groups categorize members with the purpose of obtaining common computation results. After using the “Run Design” option, the member design results may be verified through various options. If the user does not specify values for certain design variables, the program uses the default values. When creating the analysis model, design criteria for each member may be specified using the design variable input window. Design parameters for the computations may include force/moment results output from static or dynamic analysis, as well as the cross section characteristics, material properties, and other member information that is input at the creation of the model. To conduct member design and strength checks, the analysis of the structure of design interest must be linearized. For reinforced concrete members, the program offers the ability to conduct cross section and reinforcement calculations. For steel members, the program offers the ability to conduct cross section calculations, which form the basis of the member design strength. Outline The design capabilities of midas nGen 7 Foundation include steel design, reinforced concrete design, and basic member design/strength checks.
