INTRODUCTION 2

• Midas Design+ is a collection of handy structural component design and

detailing tools, which are easy to use and speed up the day-to-day design
process. midas Design+ is developed to be simple, fast and accurate.

• It caters to the design needs of the engineers for quick and efficient design of
various building components such as beams, columns, staircase, steel
connections, slabs, basement walls, footings etc.

• After obtaining the design results and the detailing, the engineers can also
obtain the AUTOCAD drawings for the designed items.

• The user can easily perform the parametric study by easily modifying the
design parameters and cross section.
