# midas Civil

## Definition

midas Civil is a civil-structure analysis and design product from [[MIDAS Information Technology]]. The [[Midas-Civil-Analysis-Reference|Midas Civil Analysis Reference]] presents it as part of the MIDAS Family Program and frames "Civil" as civil structural analysis and design.

## Manual Coverage

The analysis reference organizes the product around a structural numerical model of nodes, elements, and boundary data, then adds static, dynamic, seismic, buckling, nonlinear, construction-stage, heat-of-hydration, PSC, moving-load, settlement, composite-section, optimization, column-design, and wave-load procedures.

## Why It Matters

For this vault's solver-development thread, midas Civil is a reference product for bridge-oriented solver requirements. It makes local coordinate systems, member stiffness data, support and link elements, construction history, prestress losses, vehicle loads, seismic combinations, and civil design utilities visible as solver-facing contracts rather than only analyst GUI features. [[midas NFX]] is the sibling MIDAS reference for more general structural, field, contact, fatigue, and optimization solver-kernel behavior.
