Perhaps its most powerful tool is the ability to generate high-quality CAD drawings and Bill of Materials (BOM) directly from the design data, significantly reducing the "drawing-room" bottleneck. Impact on the Industry
The defining feature of Midas-NGen is its "one-system" philosophy. Traditionally, engineers model a structure in one program for analysis and then manually transfer data to another for design or detailing. This often leads to data loss and human error. NGen eliminates this by providing a unified environment. When a structural member is modified in the 3D model, the analysis results, design checks, and final construction drawings update automatically. This synchronicity ensures that the engineering data remains consistent across all deliverables. Automation and Efficiency midas-ngen
By integrating the workflow, Midas-NGen enables structural engineering firms to be more agile. It allows for faster "what-if" scenario testing during the early stages of design, leading to more optimized and sustainable structures. Furthermore, its compatibility with other BIM platforms like Revit ensures that structural engineers can collaborate effectively within a larger multidisciplinary team. Conclusion Perhaps its most powerful tool is the ability
Midas-NGen leverages automation to tackle repetitive tasks that typically consume an engineer's time. Key features include: This often leads to data loss and human error
The software can automatically suggest member sizes based on international codes (such as ACI, Eurocodes, or AISC), balancing structural safety with material economy.
It simplifies the transition from a geometric model to an analytical one, handling complex connectivity issues that often plague finite element modeling.
