Midas: Gen 2026 New!

Includes the ability to input finishing material loads (such as fireproofing) directly into the model.

One of the most notable updates in the 2026 version is its expanded support for international design codes. Structural engineers now have access to:

Direct import of ground motion records from the PEER NGA Database.

Automatic synchronization of design and material codes between midas Gen and Design+ ensures consistency across the structural documentation. [GEN NX] 2026 V1.1 Release Note - MIDAS Support midas gen 2026

Subtitle: Automated code-check & topology optimization using machine learning

per AISC-LRFD/ASD 2022; Seismic Design improvements for EC8-3. Interoperability

Improved interface with midas GTS NX for handling negative spring stiffness in soil-structure interaction scenarios. Workflow & Productivity Includes the ability to input finishing material loads

Supports construction stage analysis, pushover analysis, and inelastic time history analysis, making it a preferred tool for high-rise buildings and structures in high-seismic zones.

In response to global sustainability mandates (Embodied Carbon reduction targets).

Seamlessly connects modeling, analysis, and design within a single interface, reducing data loss between stages. and inelastic time history analysis

Optimization completed. Best design (Min Cost): - Total steel weight: 1245 tons (↓23% from original) - Max drift: H/415 (code H/400 OK) - Outriggers at floors 14 and 28 - Top 3 overstressed members eliminated - CO₂: 3450 tCO₂e (↓18% from original)

The 2026 version prioritizes user efficiency through smarter interface features.
