Define Elastic Support Conditions Define boundary conditions.
MIDAS/SDS automatically calculates the elastic support stiffness of columns or walls supporting a floor slab by using the main dimensions such as section sizes, story heights, etc and the material properties such as modulus of elasticity. First, we define the elastic support stiffness of column supports, which will be assigned by using the Column Supports.

Tip The program will automatically calculate the rotational stiffness of column support based on the Bending Stiffness Scale Factor entered here. The boundary conditions of the model used for the determination of the bending stiffness factor for the columns, α, are shown below.
Let the columns above and below have the same story height, H, modulus of elasticity, E and moment of inertia, I. Then the rotational stiffness of column
support equals 2 E IH
α ⋅⋅ .
Where, E: Modulus of elasticity of the columns I: Moment of inertia of the columns H: Story height of the columns
α: Bending stiffness factor for the columns
Rotational stiffness of column support at A is found to be 8EIH
. Therefore, α
is taken as 4.

Tip If the Weight option is checked, the self-weight of the area object will be automatically included in the dead load. This will automatically update the self-weight of the area object according to the change of the slab thickness.
Enter Floor Loads
In MIDAS/SDS, line loads and area loads can be assigned to objects using defined load types, or loaded by directly entering loading values for each load case.

Perform Structural Analysis
The data entry process for performing floor slab analysis is completed thus far. Specify the maximum size of elements to be auto-generated, and then perform structural analysis. Mesh lines auto-generated in MIDAS/SDS do not exceed the Maximum Mesh Line Dimension defined by the user and always pass through point objects. Therefore, we may add point objects at the locations where we wish to generate mesh lines. MIDAS/SDS has been formulated with an up-to-date (Multi-frontal) Sparse Gaussian Solver, which improves accuracy of analysis results and remarkably reduces analysis time. The (Multi-frontal) Sparse Gaussian Solver will be applied to the analysis of this example.
