Define Elastic Support Conditions Define boundary conditions. MIDAS/SDS automatically automatically calculates the elastic support stiffness of columns or walls supporting a floor slab by using the main dimensions such as section sizes, story heights, etc and the material properties such as modulus of elasticity. First, we define the elastic support stiffness of column supports, which will be assigned by using the Column Supports. Supports .

Perform Structural Analysis The data entry process for performing floor slab analysis is completed thus far. Specify the maximum size of elements to be auto-generated, and then perform structural analysis. Mesh lines auto-generated in MIDAS/SDS do not exceed the Maximum Mesh Line Dimension defined by the user and always pass through point objects. Therefore, we may add point objects at the locations where we wish to generate mesh lines. MIDAS/SDS has been formulated with an up-to-date (Multi-frontal) (Multi-frontal) Sparse Gaussian Solver , which improves accuracy of analysis results and remarkably reduces analysis time. The (Multi-frontal) (Multi-frontal) Sparse Gaussian Solver will be applied to the analysis of this example. 1.
