MIDAS/Gen allows unlimited numbers of nodes and elements in
a structural model. Nor does it limit the numbers of load cases
and load combinations. It also supports
Batch analysis such that a number of structural models
can be executed consecutively.

Linear analyses, which ignore the
effects of deformations, do not always produce accurate results.
This is particularly true for the analysis of a flexible structure
such as a cable structure, which undergoes large displacements.
Geometric nonlinear analysis is a prerequisite for such a structure,
whose equilibrium equations are repeatedly formulated on the
basis of the progress of deformations.
Example of large deformations of an arch,
which retains unsymmetrical
boundary conditions and is subject to a center concentrated
load

Calculation of Unknown Forces by Optimization
finds the optimum loads that satisfy the specified constraint
conditions. The function is used to obtain, for example, initial
tension forces or level forces of a cable-supported system.
MIDAS/Gen contains Multi-frontal Sparse
Gaussian Solver, which exhibits analysis times approximately
10 to 30 times faster than the conventional Skyline Solver.
