Import Design Results of midas Gen This function imports design results from midas Gen. Import design results classified by section IDs such as diameter, spacing and number of reinforcement bars from midas Gen. 1. Click『File』>『Import』>『midas Gen』.

2. Click button and select the path of『fn.mgn』file exported from midas Gen.

3. Check all members in to use the same diameter, spacing and number of reinforcement bars designed in midas Gen.

4. Select 『By Sections』in to import the most conservative design result among the members which have the same section IDs in midas Gen.

5. Define proportioning method of legs for Column Ties. 1) midas Gen: Arrangement according to the number of legs designed in midas

Gen. 2) Spacing Rule: Ignore the number of legs designed in Gen; replace the ties

according to arrangement rules considering constructability. 3) Select Max.: Arrange using maximum number of legs calculated from (1) and

(2).

6. If you check “Auto-adjustment of rebars to defined spacing”, it is possible to

rearrange the spacing according to the spacing of reinforcement defined in 『Tools』>『Preferences』>『Spacing』. 7. Virtual members modeled in midas Gen for idealizing real behavior of structure in

midas Gen should be checked. In other words, delete unnecessary sections for drawing.

6. Click .

Create Models

- 13 -

By Members Import design results of midas Gen by members. It is possible to rearrange the placement of reinforcement considering constructability by using the required rebar area for each member calculated in Gen.

By Sections Assign the most conservative results to all members which have the same section IDs. If you give section numbers considering member grouping in midas Gen, then check on 『By sections』. In this case, the name of group is determined from the section name you defined in midas Gen. You can also rearrange the placement of reinforcement considering constructability.

Auto-Placement of Reinforcement Re-arrange reinforcement bars for beams considering constructability according to the guidelines defined in『Define Design Code』 Re-arrange reinforcement bars and calculate the amount of reinforcement required ignoring the diameter, number and spacing designed in midas Gen.

Don’t execute this command if you want to use the diameter, number and spacing of reinforcement equally.

Process of re-arrangement is shown below.

1. Click 『Model』>『Beam』>『Auto-Placement of Rebars』.

2. Click after defining the Splice Method for beams and the diameter of reinforcement bars for each floor.

Edit Reinforcement Information You can edit rebars designed by midas Gen or auto-placed by『Auto-Placement of Rebars』. There are two ways to edit information of bar arrangement in DrawingShop. (1) Method 1: Editing each member by double clicking. (2) Method 2 : Editing bar arrangements in a Table. Method 1: Edit each member by double clicking on the member as shown below.

1. To edit bar arrangement for individual members, double click each member. (You can modify the bar arrangement as required. A “Warning Dialogue” will appear if

any rules of bar arrangement are not followed.)

2. Click 『Apply to Member』 when you want to apply the modified details only to a specific member. If you want to use the same details for all members in the group

then click 『Apply to Group』. 3. Click after modifying all the information for bar arrangement. 『Modify Beam Rebars』window is as shown below.

Figure13 Editing Window of Beam Rebars

✔You don’t need to edit the information of bar arrangement if you use the information of rebars designed by midas Gen.

Method 2: Editing bar arrangements in Table is as shown below. 1. Execute 『Model』>『Beam』>『Change Rebars on Table』. (You can modify the bar arrangement as required. A “Warning Dialogue” will appear

if any rules of bar arrangement are not followed.) 2. It is possible to select members individually by using “Select” button.

Otherwise, you can also select multiple members in the same column at one time by selecting members while holding 『Ctrl』Key.

1) If you click a member (Beam) on plan with holding 『Ctrl』Key, then all members on Continuous Beam are selected.

2) Vertical member(Column or Wall) of all floors are selected by clicking and holding 『Ctrl』Key on plan.

3. The procedure to apply the modified details to each member is the same as in

Method 1.

Tip Selection of Objects There are two ways of object selection. 1. Select the selection type in “Select Toolbar”

Grouping signs appear when 『Auto-Grouping of Members』 is executed. The numbers in brackets are the member numbers defined in midas Gen.

You can modify the bar arrangement after auto-grouping of members

with『Modify Rebars』option. It is possible to re-group members by using 『Auto-Grouping of Members』 even

after modifying bar arrangements.

✔It is possible not to mark signs of member with the function of『View』>『Display Option』.

Manual Grouping With this option, member group names imported from midas Gen, can be modified. It is not necessary to use the manual grouping option if you use the same group name as in midas Gen.

1. Click『Model』>『Beam』>『Manual Grouping』. A window as shown below

appears on the left side of the screen.

2. Select “Girder” or “Beam” from the Combo Box . Then, select the group name that you want to modify. All the members of the selected group appear on the grid.

3. If you want to move some members of the selected group to another group, select

the members marked with this grid name and then click the arrow button. 4. Move the selected member to another group now. If you want to change it to an

existing group, choose that group in the Combo Box . If the group does not exist, input a new group name in

5. Click for updating the modified group information.

6. Click to finish manual grouping.

Define Similar Floors

Once grouping by sections is complete, start to group by floors. You can bundle several floors into one with this option. It is possible to define Beam/Column/Bracing/Wall by floors.

1. Click 『Model』>『Assign story group』 to auto-define one floor group which has the same number, length and dimension of member. (It is possible to re-define the floor group which was auto-set after checking.)

2. Defined floor groups will be reflected when making member lists.

When you modify the member’s group name to existing groups, 1. An error message will appear if the dimension and amount of

reinforcement of the section is different from other members in the existing group.

2. A warning message will appear if the amount of reinforcement is less than that of the existing members in the group.
