		I'm using Staad pro since 1998 and I have no complain abaout it, but a few months ago I tryed to search for another software like Staad to compare results and I found MIDAS Gen.
As usual it was kind of difficult to get used to a new software, but, I have to admit that MIDAS have a few advantages over staad.
The main advantage is the graphical enviroment, more fluid to navigate, better rendering and great results graphs.
I love the "cut by a line" graph option for plate results, is much better that the one in staad.
I also use SAP2000 and other similars.
Like I said, I'm new using MIDAS, so...
I want to know your experience about it.. what do you think of it?
have you triyed it?
