MIDAS CIVIL NX tools (MIDAS IT Europe) MCP

Creates one structure group per section, per material, or per section + material pair, with the Auto Structure Groups plugin's own engine: it reads every element's section and material, names each group from the prefix and the section/material names (cleaned and cut to 40 characters, as in the plugin; elements with no section/material go to <prefix>UNASSIGNED), largest group first. Optional: inclu

Reverses an auto_structure_groups run from the ledger: deletes the groups it created and puts every group it added members to back exactly as it was (from the snapshot taken just before the write). Refuses while a construction stage uses one of those groups, because deleting a group strips it from every stage. Default: the latest run not yet undone. Previews unless apply: true.

Reads the model the way the Beam to Plate plugin (1.0.6) does and studies every section the chosen beams use, against CIVIL NX's own published properties (/ope/SECTPROP): whether the outline was READ correctly (A/Iyy/Izz vs published) and how far the PLATE model sits from it, the verdict (converts / blocked / not read, with the reason), the plugin's plate-or-solid suggestion with the mesh a solid

Converts beam elements into a plate (or solid) mesh of their cross-section with the Beam to Plate plugin's own engine (1.0.6): every section CIVIL NX gives geometry for (rolled/fabricated steel, PSC, boxes, composite, tapered groups, VALUE, catalogue), solid concrete sections as a grid of plates or as solids, exact beam loads / nodal loads / temperatures moved onto the mesh, haunches, diaphragms,

Undoes a b2p_convert run from the ledger with the plugin's own Undo: removes the virtual beams, the plates/solids, the rigid links and construction-joint links, the converted loads and the nodes it made, gives the stages and boundary groups back, then puts the beams back with their beam loads, temperatures, releases, offsets, moved nodal loads and structure-group membership, and reads the model ba

Reads the open model the way the Bridge Reshaper plugin (1.0.5) does: the deck (straight, in straight pieces kinked at half-joints or piers, or curved; beam girders, girders meshed as plates, or a spine (single-line) model with its pylons, stays and piers read as substructure; any length unit), its spans, supports and skews (Abutment A, Pier 1…, Abutment B, skew in degrees from square), girder/edg

Changes the geometry of the bridge in the open model in place, with the Bridge Reshaper plugin's own engine (1.0.5): new span lengths (the deck is stretched - each span keeps its element count), a skew for each support, a new horizontal alignment (straight, segments, fitted points, LandXML/DXF) and new deck levels (flat, grades with parabolic vertical curves, one-way or crowned cross slope). cross

Undoes a bridge_reshape run from the ledger with the plugin's own Undo: every row the run overwrote is written back and every row it created is removed, so the model returns exactly. Refuses on a different model, or when the model was edited since the apply (force: true undoes anyway, overwriting those edits). Resumable: a step that fails is reported and calling again retries only what is left. De

Concurrent Force Reporter, step 1. Reads the open CIVIL NX model the way the plugin does when it connects and lists what a concurrent-forces run can use: every load case and combination (all ten LCOM tables) with how MIDAS addresses it, whether it is envelope-valued, and whether it is AVAILABLE — moving load, settlement, response spectrum, ABS and SRSS (anywhere down the combination tree) cannot g

Concurrent Force Reporter, step 2. For a set of items (elements, nodes, links), finds the load state that makes ONE key effect extreme at ONE key item (max, min or absolute max over the selected load cases and combinations, at every output point), then reports every item's results IN THAT SAME STATE — the coexistent forces a bearing, pier cap or connection check needs, not each item's own envelope

Concurrent Force Reporter diagnostics. For each result source the plugin reads (beam, truss, plate, general link, elastic link, node reaction, node displacement), asks this CIVIL NX build with one item of that kind which table token answers, the columns it returns and how they map, the output-point tokens, and the result series published. Use it when concurrent_forces reports a missing table, colu

Lays out CS 454 notional lanes, remaining areas, footways and strips on a carriageway cross-section with the CS454 - Moving Load Wizard's own layout engine (Table 5.9a, cl 5.10, ALL model 1 single/convoy, ALL model 2, SV/HB placements), and lists the case groups each loading model needs. Needs no model — use it to answer layout questions or to choose inputs before cs454_moving_loads.

CS 454 assessment live loading with the CS454 - Moving Load Wizard plugin's own engine: notional lanes laid out on the carriageway (line lanes on a grillage, surface lanes on a plate deck), the ALL model 1/2 vehicles up to the chosen level, SV/HB where picked, and the moving load cases with remaining areas — each written and read back. It reads the deck from the model the way the plugin does (refe

Removes the lanes, vehicles, cases and groups a cs454_moving_loads run wrote, using the plugin's own cleanup: anything edited since the run, or still used by something else, is kept. Previews unless apply: true.

Start here when the user shares a reinforcement drawing, photo or schedule. Read from it: cover, for each face the layers (number of bars or spacing, and Ø - mm, inches or #US sizes are all accepted), side bars, links (Ø, legs, spacing); then call this tool. It reads one beam section from the open model through the shared MIDAS section library (outline checked against CIVIL NX's published properti

CS 455 ULS assessment of reinforced concrete beam sections with the plugin's own engine: reads the concurrent force rows (BEAMFORCE / BEAMFORCEVBM for envelopes and moving loads, kN·m; a moving-load case from a model analysed without 'Normal + Concurrent Force' is refused as NOT CONCURRENT) at the chosen element ends for the chosen combinations, and runs every row — N–M flexure by strain-compatibi

The report. Assesses one element end exactly as cs455_assess and writes the plugin's reference-format calculation sheet (.xlsx: A4 pages, title block, geometry, materials, reinforcement, section properties, sagging/hogging bending, shear and torsion with live formulas and charts, summary of results, and a Summary sheet with demand, resistance and ratio per check). Returns a download link. Use the

Reads the construction stage definition of the open CIVIL NX model with the Construction Stage Reporter plugin's engine and returns, per stage: duration and day range, the structure groups activated (with age and element count) and deactivated (with redistribution), boundary groups activated (deformed/original position) and deactivated, load groups activated/deactivated (first/last day), composite

Reads construction-stage analysis results the way the Construction Stage Reporter plugin does (POST /post/TABLE in the construction-stage family, every stage in one query at its last step; stages after the analysis stopped carry the stage before and are flagged published:false). displacements (default on): per stage the largest resultant |D| over all nodes, its node and DX/DY/DZ, in mm; nodes:[ids

Makes the Construction Stage Reporter plugin's own reports of the open model's construction stages and returns download links (never the file inline): the Excel workbook (summary, stage matrices for structure/boundary/load groups, group tables, stage details, composite sections, displacements, beam results, warnings) and the A4 PDF (cover, summary, matrices, one page per stage with a picture of CI

Validates a 2D Culvert project with the plugin's own Eurocode core and returns what it would build: nodes, elements, soil springs, basic load cases (traffic unit cases), the EN 1990 Annex A2 combination counts (ULS, SLS characteristic, quasi-permanent) and the nested CIVIL NX combinations, check locations, earth-pressure basis (K0 / PD 6694-1 Annex B / cl 9.4 K*) and derived geometry. Needs no mod

Writes the 2D Culvert model exactly as the plugin's Build: units, user material, sections, frame, soil springs, supports, every basic load case with its loads, and the nested EN 1990 Annex A2 combinations; then reads the loads back and fails if CIVIL NX dropped any. Into the open model only if it is empty, or into a new document (newDocument: true — DESTRUCTIVE: CIVIL NX replaces the open model).

Deletes every row a culvert_build wrote (combinations, loads, load cases, springs, supports, groups, elements, nodes, sections, material) from the ledger's record, and puts back the model's units. A model replaced by newDocument cannot be brought back. Previews unless apply: true.

On the culvert model built from the same inputs (refused if the open model's counts differ): runs the CIVIL NX analysis (unless analyse: false), reads the basic-case results (forces, reactions, displacements) and runs the plugin's checks — every Annex A2 combination and vehicle position: ULS flexure and shear, SLS stresses and crack width, detailing, bearing and uplift. Returns the verdict and the

Runs the checks on the analysed culvert model (as culvert_analyse_and_check, without re-analysing unless analyse: true) and writes the plugin's report: format xlsx (default) = the calculation book in the MIDAS report format with result diagrams captured from CIVIL NX, pdf, or both (one run of the checks). Returns download links.

Reads a DXF with the Advanced DXF Importer plugin's own parser and clean-up and reports what an import would create: the file (version, encoding, entity counts, what is ignored or unsupported), its units, every layer with its entities and mapping, and the clean model — nodes, BEAM/TRUSS/PLATE elements per layer, structure groups, disconnected parts, and the clean-up operations (merged nodes, remov

Imports a DXF into the open CIVIL NX model with the Advanced DXF Importer plugin's engine: the same parse, layer mapping, clean-up and write as the plugin. Nodes and elements get new ids above the model's (existing rows are never overwritten); each layer's structure group is created or added to; blank properties become the plugin's DXF default material (C40/50), section (SB 500x300) and thickness

Removes what one dxf_import created, with the plugin's own removal rules: it refuses unless the import's master group is in the open model; deletes the import's elements, then its nodes, only where they still match the fingerprint taken before writing (anything edited since is kept, and a node another element uses is kept); deletes the groups and default properties it created once nothing uses the

Calculates EN 1991-1-4 §8 wind actions on a bridge deck with the Eurocode Wind Loads plugin's own engine: v_b, q_p(z_e), c_sc_d, d_tot, the transverse (x), longitudinal (y) and vertical (z, at e = ±b/4) forces, and the load cases the plugin would write. Needs no model.

Reads the open model the way the Eurocode Wind Loads plugin does: finds the deck (or measures the elements / group given), and reports b, d, L, the soffit height, the span axis, whether the deck is beams or plates, and a structural-form guess. Read-only.

Calculates §8 wind on the deck and writes it with the Eurocode Wind Loads plugin's adapter: one EC1W_ load case per global direction, then beam loads (beam deck) or a pressure + fascia nodal loads (plate deck) on the target elements — one element written and read back first, then the rest, with a direction audit. Target: elementIds, a structure group, or (neither) the deck the plugin finds itself.

Removes what the Eurocode Wind Loads plugin writes: every EC1W_ load case, its load group, and their beam/pressure/nodal loads — whether this tool or the plugin window wrote them. Loads anyone else put on the same elements are kept. Previews unless apply: true.

Generates a bridge deck (beam grillage or plate mesh) with the Skew Grillage Geometry Generator plugin's own engine: skew, unequal girders, plan curvature, multi-span, crossfall and vertical profile, automatic transverse section sizing and structure groups (GIRDERS, CROSS-BEAMS, END-BEAMS for the support-line members, SPAN-n, or DECK for plates). Without apply it only previews (counts, metrics, gr

Removes the deck a skew_grillage run wrote (its elements, nodes, new structure groups and any default properties nothing else uses). Refuses while lanes, other groups or other elements still depend on it. Previews unless apply: true.

Checks the MAPI connection to CIVIL NX and summarises the open model: units, moving load code, row counts per table, structure/boundary/load group names, static load cases, stages, general combinations, and the most recent runs recorded for this key. Read-only. Call this first.

No parameter schema on file.

Reads one MIDAS database table (GET /db/<TABLE>) from the open model, e.g. NODE, ELEM, SECT, GRUP, STLD, STAG, LLAN, MVLDBS, LCOM-GEN. Returns rows keyed by id: the ids asked for, or the first limit rows. Read-only.

Status, progress and (when finished) the result of a tool call that returned a jobId. Poll every few seconds until status is done or failed.

Runs the Model Report plugin's fourteen quality checks on the open CIVIL NX model: duplicate (coincident) nodes, orphan nodes, zero-length and duplicate elements, elements without material/section, unused properties, disconnected regions, support adequacy, load cases with no loads, loads on missing nodes/elements, combinations citing a missing case, elements in no structure group, length outliers

Lists the CIVIL NX pictures the Model Report can put in this model's report, with their keys: FE model views (iso, plan, front, side), the applied loads of each static load case, the figures saved in the model (/db/UFIG), and the beam diagrams on offer (each static case, combination and construction-stage part × components Fx…Mw). Pick from them with model_report_export images. Read-only (GET only

No parameter schema on file.

Builds the Model Report plugin's 'Model report' for the open CIVIL NX model — cover, contents, materials, sections (with drawings), supports and springs, load cases, combinations and loads, nodes/elements/groups appendix, cross sections, tendons, CIVIL NX pictures, the QC checks and the data sources read — and returns it as download links: html (default), xlsx, docx and/or pdf, in English, French,

Reads the open model's geometry tables and CIVIL NX's computed section properties and reports the bridge the Model to IFC plugin finds in it: girder lines, piers and pylons (station, elements, bearings, foundations), abutments, bearings, the deck alignment and its line/arc fit, the joined deck, every section in use with how its outline was rebuilt and its area difference from CIVIL NX, tendons, we

Exports the open CIVIL NX model to IFC with the Model to IFC plugin: real section outlines with voids, smooth tapers, tendons, composite deck slabs, materials, structure groups and stages; in IFC4.3 also the bridge structure (deck, piers, abutments, bearings, alignment); optionally the structural analysis model with loads, combinations, support reactions, and — for the series named in resultSeries

Draws the open CIVIL NX model as DXF with the Model to IFC plugin's drawing engine: a 2D drawing file (DXF 2000: plan, elevation developed along the deck, hidden-line isometric, section cuts with hatched faces and tendon ducts, and every section in use dimensioned) and a 3D DXF (one polyface mesh per element, layered by role, DXF 2000 or R12). Cuts are given in metres: {kind:'cross', at: chainage}

Creates nodes in the open CIVIL NX model from X, Y, Z coordinates with the Node Generator plugin's own engine: every check the plugin window makes (blank or non-numeric coordinates, bad or duplicate ids, ids above 999999, ids that already exist, coincident nodes within a tolerance), its numbering modes and its write rules. Give the points as nodes [{id?, x, y, z}] or as table (text pasted from Exc

Reverses a create_nodes run from the ledger: deletes the nodes it created and moves every node it overwrote back to its earlier coordinates. Refuses while elements, structure groups or supports use the nodes it created (undo those first). Default: the latest create_nodes run not yet undone. Previews unless apply: true.

PD 6694-1 integral abutment earth pressures by the limit-equilibrium route (K*, cl.9.4.3/9.4.4) with the PD 6694-1 Integral Abutment plugin's own engine: thermal movement and design displacement, the route (A1/A2, or B / review when Annex A is needed), applicability checks, coefficients, and the four states EXPMAX/EXPMIN/CONMAX/CONMIN (force, peak pressure, resultant, moment per metre). Needs no m

Writes the four PD 6694 limit-equilibrium states as plate pressures on one or two abutment wall groups, exactly as the plugin's Write button: same-model guard, the PD6694 EP load cases and groups, pressure items (other loads on the plates kept), then verification of the totals against the calculation; optionally activates them in a construction stage. Previews unless apply: true.

Removes the four PD6694 EP limit-equilibrium load cases with their pressures, load groups and stage activations (the plugin's Remove). Other load cases are kept. Previews unless apply: true.

Plans the PD 6694-1 Annex A soil-structure interaction run on the open model with the plugin's planner: spring nodes on each wall, piles, the stiffness range, and every blocker. Read-only.

Runs the PD 6694-1 Annex A iteration with the plugin's own runner: Winkler springs on the walls (multi-linear), repeated analyses until the wall displacements settle, then the two design pressure cases written and the analysis set-up removed — keeping a backup of the model's own springs for undo. Takes minutes: on the website it runs as a job (poll job_status). Previews unless apply: true.

Removes everything an SSI run left (design pressure cases, spring groups, analysis cases) and restores the model's own springs from the run's backup (the plugin's Remove SSI). Previews unless apply: true.

Bar arrangement → everything the RC Slab & Shell Assessment routes need, with the plugin's own core: per layer area, d, x, z, moment capacity (kNm/m) and force (kN/m); the Denton/Wood-Armer capacity pairs, the four Annex LL steel forces and the covers to the reinforcement centroid. Needs no model.

Reads the open model's plates (ELEM/NODE), structure groups, static cases and combinations (all LCOM tables) the way the RC Slab & Shell Assessment plugin does: orientation groups by plate normal (with a suggested in-plane reference direction) and every case with the sense it must be requested by. Read-only; use it before slab_assess.

Reads plate forces (PLATEFORCEUL, element local axes) for one orientation group and the given load cases, rotates them to the reinforcement direction and assesses every position with the plugin's own core (Denton, Wood-Armer, sandwich, Annex LL, CS 455). Returns counts, the worst elements with governing case/position, coverage and every gap (missing results are INCOMPLETE, never a pass). Read-only

The working behind one element's utilisation: reads that element's plate forces, picks its governing position and case (or the one given) and re-runs it through the plugin's explain_location — every route, face, utilisation and intermediate quantity (gamma, Wood-Armer branch, sandwich layer forces, Annex LL split). Same inputs as slab_assess plus element. Read-only.

Lists the CIVIL NX tables the Bulk Tabular Result Exporter plugin can export, with each one's id, MIDAS TABLE_TYPE or /db endpoint, components and the arguments it takes: analysis results (reactions, displacements, beam/truss/plate/solid forces and stresses, links, cables, tendons, modes, composite sections, construction stage tables, 'all columns' for any TABLE_TYPE), calculated pre-process table

Reads one table from the open CIVIL NX model the way the exporter's 'Preview this table' does and returns its first rows (default 20, max 200) with unit-labelled headers, any sub-tables (e.g. reaction totals) and the exact POST /post/TABLE Argument sent. Result tables are a quick sample (first 20 nodes/elements, 3 load cases, 2 stage steps) with an estimate of the full row count; model tables are

Exports one or more CIVIL NX tables (each like the preview_result_table arguments, full scope, no sampling) into one Excel workbook built by the exporter plugin: one sheet per table (and per sub-table; split above 1,048,575 rows), unit-labelled headers, numeric cells, and a 'Contents & Export Log' sheet listing each table's request, rows and any failure. format csv gives one CSV file per sheet ins

Checks a cross-section's outlines with Section Designer's own rules (closed, not self-crossing, holes inside their outline, no overlaps, materials) and returns a PNG drawing of it — the outlines, numbered input vertices, the centroid and chain dimensions — plus the extents, areas and every vertex. Use it FIRST, and LOOK at the drawing: compare it with the user's sketch (overall width and depth, sl

Computes the full CIVIL NX property set of a section with Section Designer's solver: exact area, centroid, second moments, extreme fibres and perimeters from the outlines, and torsion J and shear areas ASY/ASZ from a finite-element mesh refined until all three settle to 0.5 % (converged: true). Composites (two or more parts) give each part alone (STIFF) and each construction stage transformed to t

Writes a section into the open CIVIL NX model exactly as Section Designer's Write button does: VALUE/GEN, PSC/VALU or COMPOSITE-GEN with its computed properties (CIVIL keeps them as sent), in the model's units read at the time of writing, then reads it back and compares every value sent. id defaults to the model's next free section id. Refuses unconverged results. If the id is taken it writes noth

Reverses a section_write run from the ledger: deletes the section it created (refused while elements use it), or writes back the section it replaced, then reads back. Default: the latest section_write run not yet undone. Previews unless apply: true.

Without id: lists the model's sections (id, name, type, whether Section Designer can edit it) and the next free id. With id: returns a drawn section (VALUE/GEN, PSC/VALU, COMPOSITE-GEN) as outlines in section_preview's input format, in units (default mm), with its stored properties — edit it and write it back with section_write.

Creates structure groups with the Construction Stage Wizard plugin's group builder: pick a scope of elements, split it by rules (slice along X/Y/Z into n segments or at cuts, by section, material, element type, thickness, id ranges, existing groups), name them from a template, and resolve clashes with existing groups by policy. Typical use: segments of a deck for staged construction, e.g. rules [{

Builds a construction stage sequence with the Construction Stage Wizard plugin's bulk generator and writes it with its stage planner (which keeps composite sections and construction-stage load combinations intact, rewriting and restoring them when CIVIL NX would otherwise delete them). Structure groups are activated in order, groupsPerStage at a time; boundary and load groups (e.g. supports, self

Restores the rows a stage_groups or construction_stages run changed, from the snapshot taken just before it wrote (the plugin's own restore). Default: the latest run not yet undone. Previews unless apply: true.

Reads what the Stress Profile Generator can show for chosen beam elements: each element's section (type, outline verified, composite parts, tapered), material, length, the load cases / combinations / envelopes CIVIL NX publishes results for (with kind and whether each is one concurrent state), the construction stages with results for that element (and, with stage, that stage's results such as Summ

The Stress Profile Generator's profile for ONE beam element: from CIVIL NX's beam forces and the true section outline it calculates σx (or σx from N / My / Mz, τ from Vz / Vy, von Mises, principal, Tresca) over the section at the chosen positions and loads, and checks every profile against CIVIL NX's own published stresses (effective PSC sections are drawn through CIVIL NX's stress points; composi

The Stress Profile Generator's SLS report check (EN 1992-2 §7.2 concrete, EN 1993-2 §7.3 structural steel; normal stress σx at the fibres) over many elements × positions × combinations — or, with source stages, its construction-stage checks (fck(t) from CIVIL NX's concrete age, steel fy/γM0, tendons from CIVIL NX's tendon stresses). Every state is generated and matched with CIVIL NX as in stress_p
