This function can capture the work plane or export geometric shapes and meshes.

The work plane can be saved using [Screen Shot file]. [Screen Shot Select All], [Screen Shot Selected Area] tabs.

The [Screen Shot file] tab only saves the work plane and the [Screen Shot Select All] tab saves the whole image. The [Screen Shot Selected Area] tab saves the area selected by the user. PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF image file formats are supported.

CAD geometric shapes and meshes on the work plane can be exported. CAD geometric shapes are exported as Parasolid files (*.x_t, *.x_b) and meshes can be exported as a STL file (*.stl) or a neutral file (*.fpn) supported on other Midas programs (GTS/NFX/FEA/SoilWorks) and non-MIdas programs.

Export Soilworks Neutral Format File for 2D

Export the geometric shapes (Line) of a GTS NX 2D model as a SoilWorks neutral file. The user can select all shapes on the screen, or directly select the edges to export.

[Spacing length (B-Spline)]: Divides a B-spline edge into equal spacing and export. It does not apply to Line or Arc types, which are not B-Splines.

Export Soilworks Neutral Format File for 3D

Export the geometric shapes (Solid) of a GTS NX 3D model as a SoilWorks neutral file.

[Target solid]: Select the target 3D geometric shape (Solid).

[Tool face]: Select the tool face to cut the solid. The tool face can be directly selected, or 3 points can be selected to create a cutting plane.

[Spacing length (B-Spline)]: Divide the B-spline outlines of a solid into equal spacing and export. It does not apply to Line or Arc types, which are not B-Splines.

Export FPN file

This format links the model information file created on GTS NX to Midas family programs (GTS NX, FEA, NFX, SoilWorks, GeoXD). This file format also enables user to exchange information between different programs using text format.

Export Midas Civil

This format links the model information file created on GTS NX to Midas family program (Midas Civil) as *.mct formation.

Export Midas Gen

This format links the model information file created on GTS NX to Midas family program (Midas Gen) as *.mgt formation.

Export Nodal Results (*.txt)

Export Nodal Results feature from GTSNX model to midas Gen / Civil allows for outputting the results of the reaction / displacement results calculated from the existing constraints as well as the load-displacement results of the nodes subjected to the nodal load.

Soil-Structure Interaction procedure steps:

1) Gen / Civil superstructure modeling. GTSNX  soil ground and superstructure modelling.
2) Analysis of Gen / Civil superstructure model.
3) Gen / Civil Superstructure Reaction Results export to apply as nodal loads in GTS NX
4) GTS NX soil ground and superstructure analysis.
5) GTS NX Load-Displacement result applying in Gen / Civil as the node spring load.
6) Repeat 2) ~ 5) steps and finish analysis when convergence satisfies.

Target Nodes

All (By Supports) – reactions and displacements will be exported at only the nodes with constraint boundary conditions defined according to the analysis set and step chosen by the user. The result of the reaction force / displacement of the node subjected to the enforced displacement can be called up as a nodal load / enforced displacement by Gen / Civil.

Selected Nodes – allows users to select specific nodes for output. Reactions will be exported at only the nodes with constraint boundary conditions defined according to the analysis set and step chosen by the user. Displacements will be exported at all selected nodes. The result of the reaction force / displacement of the node subjected to the enforced displacement can be called up as a nodal load / enforced displacement by Gen / Civil.

Load Sets (by Force) - reaction force / displacement will be exported at only the nodes where Load Set has been defined (as Force type only) according to the analysis set and step chosen by the user. User defined choice for specific load set is allowed.

In addition to the reaction force / displacement results, the "load-displacement" type was added to the output result type.

The 'Load-displacement' type will simultaneously output the value of the nodal load considered in the load set and the displacement result calculated at the corresponding node after the analysis and will be loaded in Gen / Civil as Multi-Linear Point Spring (Unsymmetric) type.

The 'load' value is calculated as Σ (node load / load increment number) entered, and the cumulative displacement generated at the stage where the 'load' is applied is transferred to the 'displacement' data.

※ Precautions

1) Gen / Civil> The Multi-Linear Point Spring  (Unsymmetric) type requires a minimum of 3 data. Therefore, when outputting 'load-displacement' type in GTS NX, please perform analysis to satisfy the number of data.

2) Gen / Civil> The Multi-Linear Point Spring  (Unsymmetric) type is designed to receive increasingly larger values ​​of the load / displacement data. Therefore, if the displacement result calculated by the GTS NX is output as a decrease rather than as an increase, the Gen / Civil will not be able to recall the value.

Output Data

 Analysis Set – select the analysis case for output.

Step – select the construction stage set for output.

Results Type – opt to output reactions or displacement.

Results Component – select the components for output. Reactions (All, FX, FY, FZ, MX, MY, MZ). Displacements (All, DX, DY, DZ)

Export Nastran Input File

This tool allows the user to export all the model attributes into an executable Nastran File.
