MIDAS在大学生结构设计竞赛中的应用

MIDAS application in structural design competition for college students

大学生结构设计竞赛是培养土木工程专业学生创造精神、动手能力和团队协作意识的重要平台。文章提出概念设计、优化分析、模型制作是结构设计竞赛的三个重要方面,对比分析了目前国内常用结构分析软件的特点,提出MIDAS是指导大学生进行结构模型优化分析的一个很好工具。以湖南省大学生第四届结构竞赛为背景,总结了MIDAS建模分析基本流程及其关键要点,供模型比选、结构优化设计参考。

College student structural design competition is an important platform to train students＇ creativity and handing ability, as well as team cooperation consciousness. Conceptual design, optimization analysis and model making are the three important aspects in college student structural design competition. Optimization analysis is the key to get good competition results. The characteristics of the structure analysis software widely used at home and abroad are comparatively analyzed. Results show that MIDAS is the ideal structure analysis software for optimization analysis in college student structural design competition. Basic processes and key points in MIDAS simulating analysis are presented for reference in model comparing and structural optimization analysis.
