Question
How to Run Multiple Commands of Midas Grasshopper Plugin with a Single Click?
Answer
When working on large-scale projects, it is common to have numerous materials, sections, load cases, and beam element definitions. Executing each Grasshopper command individually can become tedious and time-consuming. To streamline this process, Midas Builder component—available in the Tools section of the Midas Grasshopper Plugin—can be used.
By connecting multiple components (such as material definitions, section properties, load applications, etc.) to the Midas Builder component, you can execute all linked commands with a single click. For example, consider a case where three separate components are used to define materials. Instead of running each one individually, you can connect them to the Midas Builder component.
Once connected, simply clicking Run on the Midas Builder will execute all the linked commands at once, automatically creating the materials in Civil NX.
Additionally, you can include section creation, load definitions, and geometry creation in the same Midas Builder component and run all these commands with a single click.
