## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `auto\_structure\_groups`: Creates one structure group per section, per material, or per section + material pair, with the Auto Structure Groups plugin's own engine: it reads every element's section and material, names each group from the prefix and the section/material names \(cleaned and cut to 40 characters, as in the plugi
- `auto\_structure\_groups\_undo`: Reverses an auto\_structure\_groups run from the ledger: deletes the groups it created and puts every group it added members to back exactly as it was \(from the snapshot taken just before the write\). Refuses while a construction stage uses one of those groups, because deleting a group strips it from e
- `b2p\_survey`: Reads the model the way the Beam to Plate plugin \(1.0.6\) does and studies every section the chosen beams use, against CIVIL NX's own published properties \(/ope/SECTPROP\): whether the outline was READ correctly \(A/Iyy/Izz vs published\) and how far the PLATE model sits from it, the verdict \(converts /
- `b2p\_convert`: Converts beam elements into a plate \(or solid\) mesh of their cross-section with the Beam to Plate plugin's own engine \(1.0.6\): every section CIVIL NX gives geometry for \(rolled/fabricated steel, PSC, boxes, composite, tapered groups, VALUE, catalogue\), solid concrete sections as a grid of plates or
- `b2p\_undo`: Undoes a b2p\_convert run from the ledger with the plugin's own Undo: removes the virtual beams, the plates/solids, the rigid links and construction-joint links, the converted loads and the nodes it made, gives the stages and boundary groups back, then puts the beams back with their beam loads, tempe
- `bridge\_reshape\_read`: Reads the open model the way the Bridge Reshaper plugin \(1.0.5\) does: the deck \(straight, in straight pieces kinked at half-joints or piers, or curved; beam girders, girders meshed as plates, or a spine \(single-line\) model with its pylons, stays and piers read as substructure; any length unit\), its
- `bridge\_reshape`: Changes the geometry of the bridge in the open model in place, with the Bridge Reshaper plugin's own engine \(1.0.5\): new span lengths \(the deck is stretched - each span keeps its element count\), a skew for each support, a new horizontal alignment \(straight, segments, fitted points, LandXML/DXF\) and
- `bridge\_reshape\_undo`: Undoes a bridge\_reshape run from the ledger with the plugin's own Undo: every row the run overwrote is written back and every row it created is removed, so the model returns exactly. Refuses on a different model, or when the model was edited since the apply \(force: true undoes anyway, overwriting th
- `concurrent\_forces\_setup`: Concurrent Force Reporter, step 1. Reads the open CIVIL NX model the way the plugin does when it connects and lists what a concurrent-forces run can use: every load case and combination \(all ten LCOM tables\) with how MIDAS addresses it, whether it is envelope-valued, and whether it is AVAILABLE — mo
- `concurrent\_forces`: Concurrent Force Reporter, step 2. For a set of items \(elements, nodes, links\), finds the load state that makes ONE key effect extreme at ONE key item \(max, min or absolute max over the selected load cases and combinations, at every output point\), then reports every item's results IN THAT SAME STATE
- `concurrent\_forces\_probe`: Concurrent Force Reporter diagnostics. For each result source the plugin reads \(beam, truss, plate, general link, elastic link, node reaction, node displacement\), asks this CIVIL NX build with one item of that kind which table token answers, the columns it returns and how they map, the output-point

Read from it: cover, for each face the layers \(number of bars or spacing, and Ø - mm, inches or \#US sizes are all accepted\), side bars, links \(Ø, legs, spacing\); then call this tool. It reads one beam section from the open m

Into the open model only if it is
- `culvert\_build\_undo`: Deletes every row a culvert\_build wrote \(combinations, loads, load cases, springs, supports, groups, elements, nodes, sections, material\) from the ledger's record, and puts back the model's units. A model replaced by newDocument cannot be brought back. Previews unless apply: true.

- `dxf\_import`: Imports a DXF into the open CIVIL NX model with the Advanced DXF Importer plugin's engine: the same parse, layer mapping, clean-up and write as the plugin. Nodes and elements get new ids above the model's \(existing rows are never overwritten\); each layer's structure group is created or added to; bla
- `dxf\_import\_undo`: Removes what one dxf\_import created, with the plugin's own removal rules: it refuses unless the import's master group is in the open model; deletes the import's elements, then its nodes, only where they still match the fingerprint taken before writing \(anything edited since is kept, and a node anoth
- `ec\_wind\_bridge`: Calculates EN 1991-1-4 §8 wind actions on a bridge deck with the Eurocode Wind Loads plugin's own engine: v\_b, q\_p\(z\_e\), c\_sc\_d, d\_tot, the transverse \(x\), longitudinal \(y\) and vertical \(z, at e = ±b/4\) forces, and the load cases the plugin would write. Needs no model.

- `ec\_wind\_apply`: Calculates §8 wind on the deck and writes it with the Eurocode Wind Loads plugin's adapter: one EC1W\_ load case per global direction, then beam loads \(beam deck\) or a pressure + fascia nodal loads \(plate deck\) on the target elements — one element written and read back first, then the rest, with a di
- `ec\_wind\_remove`: Removes what the Eurocode Wind Loads plugin writes: every EC1W\_ load case, its load group, and their beam/pressure/nodal loads — whether this tool or the plugin window wrote them. Loads anyone else put on the same elements are kept. Previews unless apply: true.
