“MIDAS Soft Ground Technology Course” held in 4 cities nationwide *Held in Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, and Sendai! Seminar introducing knowledge about soft ground*
* Midas IT Japan Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kim) Zaimo (hereinafter referred to as Midas IT) is the author of the “MIDAS Soft Ground” study on liquefaction phenomena and soft ground analysis.
“Technical Course” will be held in 4 cities nationwide (Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, and Sendai). *
*Event overview*
This technical course provides an opportunity to learn analysis techniques for phenomena and risk assessment methods related to soft ground, which is widely distributed in Japan. In the morning session, technical courses were held on “consolidation analysis and seepage flow analysis,” and in the afternoon session, “liquefaction analysis.” We will invite you to give a lecture.

*General-purpose linear/nonlinear analysis and detailed analysis software “FEA NX”*
FEA NX (Click here to download the product)
) is a new tool equipped with standard FEM analysis functions (FEM new standard) in the construction field. In addition to detailed analysis for repair and reinforcement, we can also perform thermal stress analysis of mass components and crack analysis of concrete.
* Pre-post “SoilWorks for FLIP” exclusively for FLIP *
SoilWorks for FLIP (Click here to download the product)
) is a pre-post dedicated to FLIP’s “Structural damage prediction program due to liquefaction during earthquakes”. It inherits the operability of SoilWorks and allows you to create data as if it were AutoCAD. After data creation, you can also launch FLIP and perform calculations, providing an integrated working environment for FLIP analysis.
