  6. 3. Inputted tendon profile can be displayed at cross sections in a real scale Inputted tendon profile can be displayed at cross sections in a real scale Complex tendon profiles can be checked at cross sections of each element with ducts. Query > Cross Section Viewer

  7. 4. Addition of Automesh Mesh generation feature is newly implemented for slab and wall members. Generated mesh elements are fully compatible with analysis and design feature. Automesh considering interior nodes, elements and openings is available. Automesh and Map-mesh Model > Mesh > Auto-mesh Planar Area Using Auto-mesh Planar Area function, we can generate meshes for various shapes of areas. In order to specify the area, select the corresponding Nodes, Line elements or Planar elements. Using Map-mesh 4-Node Area function, we can generate regular shape of meshes for 4-nodes area. We can specify the number of divisions for x and y-axis separately. Model > Mesh > Map-mesh 4-Node Area Automesh 4 Nodes Map-mesh

  8. Mesh Inner Domain option Check on Mesh Inner Domain option to generate meshes in the interior openings. When this option is checked off, the program automatically recognize the closed areas and mesh elements are not generated in the corresponding areas. Default setting is check-off. Include Interior Nodes/Lines option Check on to consider nodes or lines when generating meshes. In order to specify nodes and lines, auto and user defined methods are available. Include Interior Lines option can consider beam, planer and solid elements. Meshing Meshing Boundary Connectivity Boundary connectivity for adjacent areas is automatically considered. If the user do not want to consider the boundary connectivity by intention, the user can check off Include Boundary Connectivity option. Default setting is check-on. Meshing Meshing

  9. Delete Boundary Line Element Check on Delete Source Line Element option to delete line elements when generating meshes. When this option is checked off and Subdivide Source Line Element option is check-on, line elements will be divided along the mesh size. Meshing Subdivide Boundary Line Element When mesh elements are generated, Boundary line elements are divided along the mesh size. Divided line elements are assigned as one member for design. This option is activated when Delete Source Line Element option is check-off. Meshing Re-distribute pressure loads When mesh elements are generated, predefined loads are automatically redistributed along the mesh elements. Meshing

  10. Automesh applications Arch tube Bracket Subway Station Subway Station Caisson

  11. 5. Addition of Create Converted Line Elements function Generate line beam elements on the outlines of the planar elements. When Create only on Periphery Region option is checked on, beam elements are generated on the outmost lines only. This function is useful to create line elements after meshing plate elements. Model > Element > Create Converted Line Elements Simultaneous conversion by multiple selection When Create Only on Periphery Region option is checked off When Create Only on Periphery Region option is checked-on

  12. 6. Improvements in Beam Wizard Span-oriented input type for Beam Wizard is newly implemented. In the new version, beam elements with different spans can be rapidly generated. Type 1:  Generate beam elements based on the beam length. Beam elements with different lengths can be generated simultaneously. (Ex. 5.0, 3.0, 4.5, 3@5.0) Type 2: Generate beam elements based on the distance between the nodes and the number of repetitions. Model > Structure Wizard > Beam Old version Civil 2010

  13. 7. Assigning Inertial Forces of RS analysis into Nodal Loads Inertial forces resulting from response spectrum analysis can be converted to nodal loads in the specified load case. The procedure is as follows:  In the 'Nodal Results of RS' table, right-click and select 'Convert to Nodal Load' menu.  In the 'Convert to Nodal Load' dialog, select desired RS load case and Mode. 'Combined' component of Mode represents modal combination results.  Select or create load case to generate the nodal loads. Results > Result Tables > Nodal Results of RS 1 3 2

  14. 8. Addition of Cutting Diagram Display for Plane Strain elements Cutting diagram can be displayed for plane strain elements. In the old version, it was available for plate elements only. Check cutting diagram in contour for 2-D structures which consist of plane strain elements such as dams, breakwaters, tunnels and retaining walls . Results > Stresses > Plane Strain Stresses Cutting diagram can be displayed for plane strain elements. In the old version, it was available for plate elements only. 9. Addition of Chinese section DB (GB-YB05) Chinese section DB (GB-YB05) has been newly added. Following section shapes are available based on GB-YB05: Angle, Channel, I-section, T-section, Box, Pipe, Double angle, Double channel, Cold formed channel

  15. 10. Display Stiffness for Rigid Type Elastic Link in the Analysis Output File Stiffness of rigid type elastic link are now produced in the analysis output file (*.out). Guideline for the modeling of fixed bearing supports: An Elastic Link is frequently used for the modeling of a bearing that connects the superstructure and the substructure. To represent a movable direction and a constrained direction, the stiffness of the Link is entered as 0 or infinity. When the stiffness for infinity is not appropriate, errors can be encountered. If the stiffness is too small, it cannot represent the infinity properly. If the stiffness is too large, the analysis result can be distorted (eg, a very small horizontal reaction can be multiplied by too large stiffness in case of a curved bridge). To avoid this problem, we recommend 10e5 times the largest stiffness of the entire structure as the infinite stiffness. Model > Boundaries > Elastic Link Analysis > Perform Analysis

  16. 11. Shading for Solid and Planar Elements in Wireframe View Shading option for solid and planer elements is newly implemented. In addition, the user can adjust the transparency for shading display. View > Display Option Shading 12. Display element color by element types, material types or section types Random element color can be automatically defined by element types, material types or section types. View > Display Option Draw tab Color tab For pre-generated elements, assign random element color by properties by clicking [Random Color] button. For newly created elements, assign random element color by properties by checking on ‘Assign Random Color’ option.

  17. 13. Addition of Sort Groups by Name feature Automatically put a list of groups in alphabetical order or individually change group order. This feature helps the user quickly organize and understand group data better especially for construction stage analysis. Model > Group > Define Structure (Boundary / load / Tendon) Group In the old version, if a structure group ‘Seg5-1’ is newly created, it was located at the bottommost of the group list. Old version In Civil 2010, the user can change the group order based on the construction sequence. Civil 2010

  18. 14. Renumbering the existing element (node) numbers in the reversed order Renumber the existing element (node) numbers in the reversed order for the GCS direction. For pile or frame elements, renumber the element (node) numbers in the direction of gravity. Model > Nodes > Renumbering Model > Elements > Renumbering 5 6 7 8 reversed order 101 201 301 401 4 9 reversed order 102 202 302 402 3 10 103 203 303 403 2 11 204 304 1 305 12 Pile elements Frame In Civil 2010, (-)X, (-)Y and (-)Z directions are newly added.

  21. 2. Addition of Multi-Linear type Elastic Link Multi-linear type elastic link is newly added. This feature is extremely useful when we model bi-linear springs between bridge decks and rails to evaluate axial forces in the rails considering nonlinear behavior of ballast due to a temperature and braking load. Model > Boundaries > Elastic Link P δ

  22. 3. Considering Mass Participation Factors for Rotational Directions Mass participation factors for all the rotational directions can be calculated regardless of the “Floor Diaphragm”. In the old version, mass participation factors for transfer directions were only considered if “Floor Diaphragm” is not considered. Results > Vibration Mode Shape Results > Result Tables > Vibration Mode Shape Old version Civil 2010 Vibration Mode Shape Vibration Mode Shape Table

  23. 4. Improvement on FEMA type pushover hinge properties In the old version, M/MY at the point D and E must have the same value. In Civil 2010, different values can be defined. It is applicable when the Interaction Type is ‘None’ and Input Method is ‘User Input’. This function is implemented to support the integration between SERCB win and midas Civil. Design > Pushover analysis > Define Pushover Hinge Properties [Pushover analysis result in Civil] [SERCB win]

  24. 5. Considering self-weight in the Pushover Analysis In the old version, self-weight for beam members were only considered in pushover analysis. It is now considered for all the member types. 6. Improvements in Inelastic Hinge Properties of SRC Beam member Inelastic hinge can be now defined for SRC(encased) beam members.
