What is Midas NFX?
midas NFX is a comprehensive finite element analysis program designed specifically for nonlinear analysis of structures. It has an intuitive modeling environment that allows users to easily construct complex structural models with various element types including beams, shells, solids, and springs.
Some of the key features and capabilities of midas NFX include:
- Advanced nonlinear material models for steel, reinforced concrete, timber, etc.
- Sophisticated solvers for static and dynamic nonlinear analysis
- Options for large deformation analysis and post-buckling modeling
- Various nonlinear load types including follower, tension-only, multi-point constraint
- Different analysis procedures such as implicit/explicit, quasi-static, pseudo-dynamic
- Visualization tools for result contours, animation, and dynamic graphing
- Interfaces with common design codes for reinforced concrete, steel structures, etc.
midas NFX can comprehensively simulate the realistic behavior of building and bridge structures under extreme loading scenarios such as earthquakes. With its detailed modeling and analysis features, midas NFX is suited for advanced nonlinear analysis in structural engineering research and practice.
