Question:
Hi. Can we design composite steel beam in Midas Gen? It is composite with the metal deck with concrete. I want to consider the composite effect of the metal deck with concrete in the design of the steel beam.
Answer:
Hello,
It is impossible to design the Composite Steel Beam. However, composite Steel Beam can be designed in midas D+. Thus, after performing the analysis, import the analysis results through the midas link function in midas D+. And then you can design the composite steel beam.
Thank you.
Best regards,
