Export

Export the model data created in a format other than MGB file of midas Gen.

From the Main Menu select File > Export > Gen MGT File.

From the Main Menu select File > Export > MXT File (for FEA/GTS)

From the Main Menu select File > Export > AutoCAD DXF File.

From the Main Menu select File > Export > Frame Section for Solid

From the Main Menu select File > Export > Frame Section for Plate

From the Main Menu select File > Export > IFC File

Gen MGT File

Save the model data as an fn.MGT text file of midas Gen.

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.

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.

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.

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. Among the section data,  composite type section is not supported.
