midas Civil MCT File

Save the model data as a fn.MCT text file of midas Civil.

Note

When exporting to a Text Format (MCT) file, the user now has an option of including/excluding the syntax format comments.

MXT File (for FEA/GTS)

Save the model data as a fn.MXT text file. midas Civil model data such as node, element, properties, boudaries, loads, and analysis control data can be transferred to midas FEA/GTS.

Note

Cross-sections data that are not supported in midas FEA are imported as user-type section. Cable elements are imported as truss elements.

Nodal Results (for GTS)

This function allows users to export nodal results (reactions or displacements) from midas Civil to GTS NX. This menu is only activated in the post-processing mode. Reaction results of midas Civil will be converted as nodal loads in the opposing direction (FX, FY, FZ, MX, MY, MZ) in midas GTS NX. Displacement results of midas Civil will be converted as specified displacement (Dx, Dy, Dz) in midas GTS NX.

Target Nodes

   All  (By Supports, Point Spring, Specified Displacement)

Reactions will be exported at the nodes with support, point spring support boundary conditions defined according to the construction stage and load case/combination chosen by the user. Displacements will be exported at all selected nodes.

   Selected Nodes

It allows users to select specific nodes for export.

Select Load Case & Direction

   Stage – select a construction stage

   Load Cases/Combination – select a load case or load combination

   Step – select a step within a construction stage

   Results Type – reactions or displacement

   Results Component – Reactions (All, FX, FY, FZ, MX, MY, MZ).
                                     Displacements (All, DX, DY, DZ)  

AutoCAD DXF File

Save the model data as an AutoCAD DXF file.

Frame Section for Solid

By using frame section information, create a solid geometry file that can be exported to midas FEA

Target Elements :Select elements to be exported. If any selected element is assigned in Tapered Section Group, "Convert to Tapered Section" must be preceded before the selection.

Division in element :Enter the number of division in element. It is recommended to increase the number of division if there is any significant changes in tendon profile.

Tendon Profile :Exported together with frame section information.

* This function supports only PSC section type.

Frame Section for Plate

By using frame section information, create a surface geometry file that can be exported to midas FEA

Target Elements For Detail Geometry Model :Select elements to be exported.

Sub Frame Element :Elements selected as Sub Frame Element are connected as frame elements at centroid. Cross-sectional constant are saved as Value Type.

Specific Displacement :Displacement results as per selected load cases/combinations are inputted as pre-defined displacement in a detailed analysis model. pre-defined displacement can be applied only after analysis is completed.

* This function supports only PSC section type.

IFC File

Save the model data as an IFC file.

Note.

IFC file contains only geometry data such as section data and element type, and element dimension. It does not contains loads, boundary conditions, and analysis control data.

Section types excepting for SRC section, Hollow Section, and Tapered section are supported.  SRC section, Hollow Section, and Tapered sections are displayed as 1D line without section shape. Composite type section will be excluded in IFC file.

Section data includes only section shape and dimension of section. It does not support section properties or DB name.
