reinforcement bars from midas Gen.
1. ClickFile>Import>midas Gen.
2. Click button and select the path offn.mgnfile exported from midas Gen.
3. Check all members in to use the same diameter, spacing and number of
reinforcement bars designed in midas Gen.
7. Virtual members modeled in midas Gen for idealizing real behavior of structure in
midas Gen should be checked. In other words, delete unnecessary sections for
drawing.

By Members
Import design results of midas Gen by members. It is possible to rearrange the
placement of reinforcement considering constructability by using the required
rebar area for each member calculated in Gen.
By Sections
Assign the most conservative results to all members which have the same
section IDs. If you give section numbers considering member grouping in
midas Gen, then check on By sections. In this case, the name of group is
determined from the section name you defined in midas Gen. You can also
rearrange the placement of reinforcement considering constructability.

Auto-Grouping of Members
This option is used to group members which have the same section dimensions and rebar
arrangement. In addition, this option works when members design information is
symmetrically same.

Manual Grouping
With this option, member group names imported from midas Gen, can be modified. It is
not necessary to use the manual grouping option if you use the same group name as in
midas Gen.
2. Select Girder or Beam from the Combo Box . Then, select the group name
that you want to modify. All the members of the selected group appear on the grid.
3. If you want to move some members of the selected group to another group, select
the members marked with this grid name and then click the arrow button.
4. Move the selected member to another group now. If you want to change it to an
existing group, choose that group in the Combo Box . If the group does not exist,
input a new group name in
