to visually differentiate members by type or construction stage. Modeling Tools Tracing Model

: Added 8 new cross-section types (CNS-2020), cold-formed sections (NB/T 10115-2018), and new material databases for (EN 2023) and Advanced Design : Integrated Steel Design per AISC 2022 and added 6 new codes for Shell Design. Improved Pre-Processing

The 2026 version strengthens its role as a BIM hub. It includes improved data handling with Revit, Tekla, and CAD files, facilitating a fluid exchange of information. The "Full" version also boasts an improved interface between midas GTS NX (for geotechnical analysis) and Gen, ensuring that soil-structure interaction problems are solved with greater accuracy.

: Allows users to adjust model transparency to review complex geometry and tendon detailing easily.

Note that subscription prices and enterprise licensing (e.g., volume discounts for 3-year contracts) are negotiable and often result in "Midas Gen Full" packages customized for a company's specific needs.

: Provides a more robust handshake with MIDAS GTS NX when managing negative spring stiffness variables during advanced soil-structure interactions (SSI). 2. Advanced Design Code Additions

Enhanced GUI for applying non-linear, time-history, and moving loads. Comprehensive Analysis Capabilities

: Added NB/T 10115-2018 (China) cold-formed sections, new UNI I-shapes and T-shapes, and CNS-2020 cross-sections.

feature allows engineers to generate nodes and elements directly on top of imported drawings using snap functions. BIM and API Integration Steel Connection Design : A new BIM link for IDEA StatiCa Checkbot

: For Performance-Based Design (PBD), users can automatically pull authentic ground motion records directly from the PEER NGA Database into their seismic simulation workspace, shaving hours off manual data conversion.
