1. Improvements in Pushover Analysis
1.1 Export Moment-Curvature Idealized Model from midas GSD to Civil
Moment-Curvature (M- Lumped) type hinge properties can be automatically generated based on the idealized moment-curvature curve obtained in midas GSD.
For P-M and P-M-M interaction type hinges, a number of Moment-Curvature curves with various axial forces can be imported at once.
GSD Imported Typeskeleton curve is newly added to simulate the reduction of flexural capacity.

1.3 Display Ultimate Displacement in Pushover Capacity Curve
Ultimate displacement which is 80% of the peak base shear force are now plotted in the capacity curve of pushover analysis. The ultimate displacement will be required to
determine the capacity for the global assessment of the structure.

1.5 Assign Pushover Hinge at the Center of Hinge Length
Hinge length ratio can be defined by the user for the region which reaches plastic moment for Moment-Curvature (M- Lumped) hinge definition.
The user can select whether pushover hinges will be assigned to the center of the hinge length or I & j-end of an element.

2.1 Improvements in Multi-linear Type Inelastic Hinge Properties
Perfect plastic primary curve of multilinear type hysteresis models can be defined in Inelastic Hinge Properties. In the old version, in order to simulate the perfect plastic behavior,
the user needed to enter the very small increment of force.
Compression-only and Tension-only primary curve can be defined.
Scale factor for displacement and force in multi-linear type hysteresis model is added.

5. Time Dependent Material Properties as per Australian Specification
Creep/Shrinkage and Compressive Strength can be considered as per both AS/RTA5100.5-2011 and AS3600-2009.
After performing construction stage analysis, midas civil provides the following member forces separately for each construction stage:
Dead Load, Tendon Primary, Tendon Secondary, Creep Primary, Creep Secondary, Shrinkage Primary, Shrinkage Secondary, Summation
Creep and Shrinkage Compressive Strength

6. Moving Load Analysis as per Australian Specification
Moving load analysis as per AS 5100.2 is newly implemented.
Standard vehicles (W80, A160, M1600, S1600) and user defined vehicles (Truck/Lane, Train, Permit Truck) are supported. Accompanying lane factor can be automatically
considered.
Concurrent forces and reactions can be checked in Results by Max Value Itemtable.

7. Improvements in BS Moving Load
Permit vehicle can be defined in BS moving load code for generating various number of wheels in one axle for special operations. Permit vehicle can be combined with other
vehicles in BD37/01 excepting for HA&HB (Auto) in Moving Load Case.
User defined HA, HB, and HA&HB vehicles are newly added for considering various type of vehicles and combination with permit vehicle.
For user-defined HA&AB (Auto) vehicle, HA lane factor option is added and the exponential field 0.1for 50<L<1600m loading length can now be modified by the user.

9. Large Displacement Analysis with Composite Section for Construction Stage
Large displacement analysis can be performed with Composite Section for Construction Stage function. This function will be extremely useful when decks of cable stayed bridge is
composed of composite sections.

10. Improvements in Local Direction Force Sum
When bridge decks are modeled using plate elements and main girders are modeled using beam elements, resultant forces can be calculated in Local Direction Force Sum.
In the old version, the resultant forces were obtained only for the plate elements or solid elements only. In the new version, resultant forces can be obtained for the bridges
composed of Beam (deck) +Beam (girder)and Plate(deck) +Beam (girder).
Local direction force sum can be obtained in any construction stages. In the old version, Local Direction Force Sum was activated only in Post CS.

11.1 Improvements in Frame to Solid, Frame to Plate function
By using frame section information, create a solid or plate geometry file that can be exported to midas FEA.
In the old version, only the straight frame elements were exported at once. In this version, a number of elements regardless of the element direction can be exported to midas FEA.

11.2 Improvement in data export to midas FEA and midas GTS
Data import using mxt file.
In the old version, only node and element information were transferred. In the new version, expanded information such as properties, boundary conditions, loads, and analysis
control information are supported.
Cross-sections data that are not supported in midas FEA are imported as user-type section. Cable elements are imported as truss elements.

Midas Civil model data can be exported into IFC (*.ifc) format file. This format will be useful for exporting structural analysis model into BIM tools. It includes only geometry
information with various type of sections excepting for composite section. It does not support loads, boundaries, and analysis control information.
