Q. I would like to extract the analysis model as an mct file.

 

A. In the Analysis Mode, the object can be created as an Analysis case and then exported through Analysis > midas Civil under the Application tab.

 

The feature selects a case, among the many analysis cases defined in the Analysis Mode, that is used in the analysis model and exports it as an external (*.mct) file.

Let’s look at the example below.

1) Select Define under Analysis Case > Define.

2) Select the member to export in the Define tab. => 1D / 2D Member & Link elements can be selected.

► When exporting to an analysis file, 1D members are linked to 1D frame elements and 2D members are linked to 2D plate elements.
► The Plate Line defined in the User Section of the 1D member can be linked to a 2D Plate member.

3) Defines the element division when analyzing 1D/2D Members. => Provides the (Division / Length) option.

4) Select Civil under Application > Analysis > Civil.

5) Select an Analysis Case from the Analysis Case List.

=> An Analysis Case is defined as a Case when all or some modeling is selected and analyzed.

6) A *.mct file is created for midas Civil integration.
