Q. Can 2D dwg information in CIM be used in modeling?
A. Using the DWG / DXF Import feature, the DWG file can be used in various modeling spaces such as Base Mode, User Section Mode and Draw Rebar Mode.
DWG / DXF Import
The DWG / DXF Import feature can be used in various modeling spaces.
In Base Mode (including Library Base Tab), it is possible to model various shapes such as Edge, Face, Solid, etc. using DWG/DXF Import feature, but the generated Solid is not linked to analysis as a Body Type. (Figure 1)
The DWG/DXF import feature can be used to create sections in User Section Mode. (Figure 2)
In Draw Rebar Mode, rebar properties can be assigned by importing reinforcement drawings created in CAD. (Figures 3 & 4)
Base Mode : File > Import > DWG/DXF

However, models using objects that are imported from DWG, DXF files in Base mode are created as Solid elements of the Body Type and not Member elements.
The objects are created as Solid elements because the section properties of the shape cannot be defined.
What is User Section?(Figure 2)
User Section: The User Section is used to create objects by defining section information as one separate piece of information.
After defining the first Properties within the User Section, import the DWG/DXF file to define the section geometry to model.
Similar to the SPC feature in midas Civil, cross-sectional properties can be defined, and the defined shape and cross-sectional properties can be interpreted and linked with midas Civil.
User Section Mode Mode : File > Import > DWG/DXF

What is Draw Rebar Mode?(Figure 3 & 4)
Draw Rebar Mode : Enter the Rebar Draw mode to construct a rebar in a plane.
The user can import DWG/DXF files to import the lines to use as references when creating rebars.
Draw Rebar Mode : File > Import > DWG/DXF
Figure. 3 Enter Draw Rebar Mode
In Draw Rebar Mode, the user can manually select edges or vertices to place the rebars.

Using the DWG / DXF Import feature, the rebar layer in CAD can be reinforced.
