Concrete Floor FEA Training Guide

This document provides an overview and step-by-step instructions for a 3D linear static analysis of a concrete floor model in midas FEA. The model includes plate and beam elements to represent the floor and girders. Boundary conditions such as constraints and a pinned support are applied. The model is then mirrored to create a complete floor plan and analyzed to evaluate deformation and stresses.
