MIDAS/Civil
provides the Wizard
to create a completed model of a Cable Stayed Bridge very
fast. Initial prestressing forces are calculated through
Optimization for initial
equilibrium state analysis. It also provides the Construction
stage function, which enables us to reflect
Creation/Deletion of elements,
Change in boundary conditions and loading changes
that may occur in various stages of construction.
MIDAS/Civil provides Cable
Stayed Bridge Wizard.
Capable of modeling symmetrical & unsymmetrical
bridges.
Capable of modeling Truss and Box type girders.
Modeling reflects longitudinal linearity (curvature)
of girders.
