Can I add an undeveloped Item myself?

Question

Can I add an undeveloped Item myself?

Answer

You can add a new item to a list as long as you do not modify the component's structure itself.

For example, we’ll show you how to add a new Analysis Type in the Item of Load Combinations General component.

The Analysis Type for Load Combinations is not limited to just the Static Load Case — other types of Load Cases can also be added.

Example: Adding Analysis Type to Load Combination

1. Create a Midas Setting component in Grasshopper.
   

2. Double-click the icon to confirm the Language setting (usually English or Korean).
   

3. Navigate to the following path:
   
   

4. Enter the LCOM-GEN folder.
   

   NOTE

   LCOM-GEN is the endpoint name for Load Combinations in the CIVIL NX API.

5. Open the file ANAL.txt.
   

   NOTE

   This file contains the list of Analysis Types displayed in the component.

6. Add your new Analysis Type in the format:

   

   • Description: the name shown in the component

   • Value: the value passed to the API

7. Save the file after editing.

8. Restart Rhino to apply the changes and check the updated list in the component.
