3rd April 2024
04:00 PM to 05:00 PM

Introduction to midas GTS NX for Tunnel Engineering
Gain insight into technical capabilities, real-time project applications, and advantages of midas GTS NX software for tunnel projects. 
Saturday
6th April 2024
04:00 PM to 05:00 PM
Overview of TBM Modelling Methods by Simple 2D Tunnel
Utilization of TBM is widespread in urban environments, regions with high groundwater levels, homogeneous geological formations, and situations prioritizing safety. In this session, we will explore TBM simulation techniques by modeling a basic 2D tunnel using the 'Wishes in Place' and 'Line Contraction' methodologies.
Wednesday
10th April 2024
04:00 PM to 05:00 PM
Horseshoe Shaped Tunnel - An overview of NATM Tunnel Design Methodology
NATM is the method of choice for managing complex tunnel shapes, ensuring controlled excavation, and addressing cost and time constraints. In this demonstration, we'll show how to incorporate relaxation modeling into midas GTS NX for designing NATM tunnels.
Saturday
13th April 2024
04:00 PM to 05:00 PM
3D Tunnel with its Primary and Secondary Lining Modelling
In this session, we'll cover the simulation of a linear tunnel, covering primary and secondary support structures. We'll introduce the 'Stage Wizard' tool for construction stage modeling, enabling the utilization of interaction or non-interaction between primary and secondary linings. Additionally, we'll discuss modeling of changing overburden conditions and portal stability.
Wednesday
17th April 2024
04:00 PM to 05:00 PM
Detailed Study of Straight Tunnel with TBM Forces Consideration
TBM, often termed as 'An Industry Underground' is a well-known method for tunnel construction. This session provides an overview of TBM tunnel modeling, covering critical forces like face pressure, jack pressure, grout pressure, and shield pressure simulating TBM under the influence of all these forces for conducting comprehensive studies.
Saturday
20th April 2024
04:00 PM to 05:00 PM
Study of Tunnel Intersections with Effect of Cross Passages on Main Tunnel
Significant stress concentration is observed at the intersection of cross passages with the main tunnel. This session will showcase numerical modeling techniques of tunnel intersections and the variation of forces in the tunnel lining before and after the excavation of the cross passages.
Wednesday
24th April 2024
04:00 PM to 05:00 PM
Effect of Tunnelling on Adjacent Structures
Constructing tunnels in urban areas poses a significant challenge due to potential impacts on aboveground structures. In this session, we'll illustrate the process of transferring a building model from Midas Gen to GTS NX. Furthermore, we'll create a model of a tunnel adjacent to the building to assess the effects of tunneling on the structure.
