is the latest iteration of MIDAS IT’s flagship structural analysis and design software, specifically optimized for building and general structures. This version focuses on expanded global code compliance, enhanced material databases, and deeper integration with geotechnical tools. Key Feature Enhancements (v1.1) Expanded Material and Section Databases :
Increased Productivity: The software's intuitive interface and streamlined workflow enable users to complete analyses and designs more efficiently.
Improved Accuracy: MIDAS GEN 2026's advanced analysis capabilities and robust finite element engine ensure accurate and reliable results.
Enhanced Collaboration: The software's integration with other Bentley software and support for industry-standard formats facilitate collaboration and data exchange between stakeholders.
Fiber Hinge Library
The new includes 50 pre-validated concrete and steel material models that account for confinement effects based on ACI 318-24. Furthermore, the post-processor now automatically calculates "Fragility Curves" – a tool previously reserved for research-level software like OpenSees. This allows practicing engineers to report the probability of collapse (e.g., 2% in 50 years) directly to building owners. midas gen 2026
The workflow: As you modify a beam’s depth or a column’s steel ratio, the reinforcement drawings, bar schedules, and bending schedules update in real time.
Error reduction: The software cross-checks for detailing errors (e.g., insufficient development length, improper lap splice location) and highlights violations in red before you export to CAD.
Supported codes: Updated for ACI 318-25, EC2 (2025 revisions), and IS 456 (2026 proposed amendments).
