Define static load cases, or modify or delete previously defined load cases.
Static analysis is carried out for each static load case entered by this function. The analysis results can be
interactively combined in "Combinations". Apply this feature to assign the load cases necessary to form the
geometric stiffness matrix in the P-Delta or buckling analysis.
When Bridge Wizard is used to analyze the construction stage of a bridge structure, static loads are
automatically generated based on the characteristics of loads. (refer to Name)
The procedure for carrying out a static analysis using midas Civil is as follows:
1. Enter the load cases using the Load>Static Load Cases menu.
2. Enter the loads using the various static load input functions of Load Menu.
3. If geometric nonlinear elements are included in the analysis model, create load cases based on the
previously created load combinations through Load>Create Load Cases Using Load Combinations.
Using the Analysis>Main Control Data menu, input the number of repetitions and permitted tolerance
for convergence.
4. If the analysis is to reflect the P-Delta effect, use the Analysis>P-Delta Analysis Control menu to
specify the number of repetitions and permitted tolerance for convergence followed by entering the load
cases and factors applied to formulate the geometric stiffness matrix.
5. Select the Analysis>Perform Analysis menu or click Perform Analysis to carry out the analysis.
6. Messages indicating the progress or the completion of analysis will appear in the message window at
the bottom of the screen.
7. Upon completing the analysis successfully, use the various post-processing functions of the Results
menu in conjunction with load cases and combinations to analyze the analysis results.
Note
The messages generated in the process of analysis are automatically compiled in the 'fn.out' file.
From the Main Menu Select Load > Static Load Cases.
Select Static Loads > Load Cases in the Menu tab of the Tree Menu.
Click to the right of the Load Case Name field in the dialog boxes of various functions purposed to specify
static loads to define or modify static unit load conditions.

Note
When Bridge Wizard is used to analyze the construction stage of a bridge structure, the following static load cases
are automatically generated based on the characteristics of the loads used. The Load Type of each individual load is
automatically defined as Construction Stage Load.
Wet Concrete: The weight of Wet Concrete when FCM or MSS/FSM Wizard is used
The above load cases are used to check the input in the preprocessing mode and combined in the
Construction Load during the analysis. The analysis results can be checked for separate load cases
automatically assigned to the construction stage analysis results. Refer to "Combinations" for details.
Type: Select the load type from the list of static unit load cases.
Select the relevant load case from the load cases list at the bottom of the dialog box, then modify the entries and click .
Select the relevant load case from the load cases list at the bottom of the dialog box and click .
Note
The unit load case types are as follows: Note that the names of the unit load cases listed below can differ from the notation given in the codes.
Earthquake (E)
Temperature (T)
Wind Load on Live Load (WL): Wind load acting simultaneously with the traffic live load
Longitudinal Force from Live Load (BK): Longitudinal force component due to horizontal live load
Note
The Load Type of a load case to be used in a construction stage analysis must be defined as "Construction
Stage Load". Otherwise, the results of a general analysis for the corresponding load case, irrelevant to the
construction stage analysis, will be produced in the "Final Stage" in the post-processing mode Stage Toolbar.
