| Program description: |
New generation of 2D/3D finite element program for general geotechnical applications including tunnels, deep
foundations, slope stability, earth retaining structures, excavations, soil-structure interaction, settlements,
seepage and consolidation analysis.
midasGTS is a 2D and 3D finite element program for general geotechnical applications including tunnels, slope
stability, earth retaining structures, foundations, excavations, soil-structure interaction, settlement, seepage
and consolidation analysis. A built in Tunnel Wizard provides 3D tunnel modeling, which defines construction
stages with a pattern of rock bolts and temporary supports. Analysis functions include: linear and non-linear
static analysis (tunnel lining, construction stage and consolidation), linear and non-linear dynamic analysis,
seepage analysis (steady state and transient), coupled stress-flow analysis and slope stability by the
Strength Reduction Method. Multi-Frontal Sparse-Gaussian direct and iterative solvers are included. Various
element types include solid, plane strain/stress, axisymmetric, interface (2D/3D), truss, beam, plate and
compression/tension only. A total of 14 material models and user-defined material subroutines are provided
including Mohr-Coulomb, Duncan-Chang, Hoek-Brown, Tresca/Von Misses, Druker-Prager, Jointed Rock,
(Modified) Cam-Clay, small-strain model (Jardine), Cap model for soft soils (Modified Mohr-Coulomb). It offers
built-in CAD software. CAD interfaces include DWG, Parasolid, ACIS SAT, CATIA, VDA-FS, Pro/E, SolidWorks,
Inventor and Unigraphics with capabilities of Repair, Transformation (or Defeaturing) and Flavouring. Terrain
Geometry Maker is an exclusive module, which creates geometry (surface/solid) representing complex ground
models from a digital map (DXF format). Fully Auto-mesh (three algorithms), Map-mesh and Protrude-mesh
methods are contained, which allow generation of a virtually infinite number of elements. The solid mesher
generates 200,000 elements per minute. Various element size control methods are provided including the
adaptive seeding function. It supports a variety of mesh manipulation and checking functionality (free edges,
free faces, mesh quality). Post processing includes dynamic generation of reports, auto generation of results
in tables (Excel compatible), graphs and animations. Graphical manipulation includes Flying View,
Transformation, Iso-surfaces, Legend Control and Slice, Clipping, Partitioned, Vector, Diagram and Hybrid Plots.
