Intro
This plug-in enables seamless integration of Nastran BDF (Bulk Data Format) files into MIDAS CIVIL NX. Designed for engineers working with mesh-based models, it automates the conversion of node/element data while preserving geometric integrity, ensuring accurate simulations.
Applicable standards
- General
Benefits of this plugin
- Efficient Workflow: Directly import Nastran BDF files without manual data conversion.
- Data Integrity: Maintains original mesh structure (nodes/elements) during import.
- Time-Saving: Eliminates redundant steps in transferring Nastran models to Civil NX.
How to use this plugin?
Concrete Tab
- Click import button to access local folder.
- Select BDF file to convert.
- Check converted geometry model.
Note
-
- Supported data includes nodes, elements; unsupported data (e.g., solver-specific commands) will be ignored.
- For complex models, verify mesh continuity post-import.
