Midas | Gen 2022 _verified_

The load pattern input for staged construction is still manual. You have to tell the software exactly when you pour slab 15. Automating this via the API is possible, but the documentation is sparse. 4. The BIM Hole: IFC and Revit in 2022 This is where the love affair cools.

MIDAS Gen 2022 supports IFC 2x3 and IFC 4. But "support" means geometry comes in. Sections? No. Loads? No. Material nonlinearity mapping? Absolutely not. midas gen 2022

In 2022, they finally calibrated the shrinkage and creep models to match ACI 209 and CEB-FIP 2010 accurately. For a concrete core wall building rising 3 floors per week, the 2022 solver correctly predicts the differential shortening between the core and perimeter columns. The load pattern input for staged construction is

It is still rigid. Unlike Abaqus or Ansys, Gen is a linear static and eigenvalue machine that happens to do decent nonlinear pushover. If you need explicit dynamics (blast/impact), walk away. But for wind drift and seismic response spectrum? The 2022 solver is accurate to within 0.5% of theoretical values. I’ve validated it. 2. The UI/UX: The "Korean Spreadsheet" Paradox Open MIDAS Gen 2022. The first thing you notice is that it looks exactly like MIDAS Gen 2012. The grey tabs. The cascading menus. The tree menu on the left that requires three clicks to change a hinge property. But "support" means geometry comes in
