06. Rail Track Analysis
Fast dynamic analysis approach for nonlinear boundaries
Easy entry of train loads via Excel sheet input in the dynamic nodal loads table
Wide variety of graphs and tables displayed in the post processor for time history forces, stresses
and displacements under the dynamic effects of high speed rail
Peak acceleration, displacement checks and bearing behaviours can be obtained for high speed rails

parametric study, tapered bridges, Rail Expansion joints, etc.
Automatic nonlinear boundary condition for ballast and concrete bed for loaded and
unloaded condition
In complete analysis model, construction stages with different boundary conditions
for each stage are generated.

of traffic to produce the most adverse live load patterns
07. Moving Load Optimiser
Moving load analysis pre processor Moving load analysis post processor
Easy and multiple lane generation techniques along any type of curvilinear path
Load models and vehicles from Eurocode, AASHTO LRFD, BS and other specifications
Highway traffic loads, railway traffic loads and footway pedestrian loads can be combined automatically
for moving load analysis.
Construction stage analysis and moving load analysis can be done in the same model
Special vehicles can be made to straddle between two lanes
Concurrent force table for a given max/min
force component due to live load
Influence line diagram for bending moment
Vehicular loads converted to
equivalent static loads for detail analysis
Moving load tracer diagram to identify the adverse location of
vehicle for minimum / maximum force & bending moment
Fast generation of analysis results using clever result filtering techniques that saves physical memory and time
Combined member force checks are possible due to availability of corresponding force components
for the max/min force effects. Eg: At maximum bending moment, combined shear + bending result can be seen
Moving load tracer displays the adverse live load pattern for all vehicle combinations
Moving loads can be converted into equivalent static loads for detail analysis

Automatic modelling of soil-structure interface facilitating the
analysis of integral bridges and box culverts
08. Soil-Structure Interaction
Nonlinear soil behaviour can be automatically modelled
Soil structure interaction around the abutment and pile can be simulated by entering basic geotechnical inputs.
Stress distribution along the depth of the abutment can be visualised
Detail analysis with soil models can be performed using midas GTS
Dynamic soil structure interaction can be assumed with general links with 6x6 stiffness, mass and damping
matrices to represent the foundation impedance of the substructure
