MIDAS/Set

Collection of structural Component Design Tools

Overview

MIDAS/Set is one of the MIDAS structural engineering programs and named after the initials of "Structural Engineer's Tools". It is a collection of handy structural component design tools, which are easy to use and speeds up the day-to-day design process.

Variety of functionality offered to readily carry out structural design in engineering practice

Concurrent view of input and output windows on the same screen-extremely versatile to change input values while viewing the design results in the output window simultaneously

Help functions (Tool tips) provided to enable even a novice to use the design tools without committing a mistake

Instant input checking capability of alerting the user when an input value falls beyond the permitted range by highlighting the input value red in the entry field

Various Help windows and supplementary input windows provided for the convenience of data entry tasks

Continuity of work flow maintained by setting the previous work environment when the program is initiated

Automatic design function, which finds optimum member sizes

Accurate calculation results

Fully compliant structural design to the current design standards (ACI318-02/95 & AISC-ASD98)

Accurate results produced on the basis of optimum algorithms

Various design Options provided to closely reflect the environments of construction and serviceability High quality output

Design results provided in high quality graphic formats

Easy recognition of improper design results - The program highlights design results red when the calculated values fall beyond the permitted ranges

Design results saved in a graphical format, which can be opened in an editor such as MS Word

The logo and output format of design results controlled by the user
