Time Loads for Construction Stage

The module provides functionality to create, manage, and synchronize time loads for construction stage analysis in the model. It handles the definition of time-dependent loads with element assignments, load groups, and timing parameters for staged construction analysis.

Note.

All the codes below assumes the initial import and MAPI Key definition.

from midas_civil import *
MAPI_KEY('eyJ1ciI6InN1bWl0QG1pZGFzaXQuY29tIiwicGciO252k81571d')

Constructor

CS.TimeLoad(element_id, day, group="", id=None)

Creates time loads for Construction Stage with specified parameters for element assignment, timing, and load grouping.

Parameters

  • element_id: Element ID (required) - Integer specifying the target element
  • day: Time Loads in days (required) - Integer defining the load duration
  • group (default=""): Load Group Name (optional) - String for load categorization
  • id (default=None): Manual time loads ID assignment (auto-assigned if None)

Class Attributes

CS.TimeLoad.timeloads -> List of all time loads defined.

Methods

json

Returns a JSON representation of all Time Loads defined in python.

CS.TimeLoad(10, 35, "DL")
CS.TimeLoad(11, 25, "DL")

print(CS.TimeLoad.json())

# Output will show detailed JSON structure for all time loads

create

Sends the current time loads list to Civil NX using a PUT request.

CS.TimeLoad(10, 35, "DL")
CS.TimeLoad(11, 25, "DL")

CS.TimeLoad.create()

get

Fetches time loads from Civil NX and returns the JSON representation.

print(CS.TimeLoad.get())
# Output will show all time loads from Civil NX database

sync

Retrieves Time Loads data from Civil NX and rebuilds the internal time loads list.

CS.TimeLoad.sync()
for timeload in CS.TimeLoad.timeloads:
    print(f'Element ID: {timeload.ELEMENT_ID} | Days: {timeload.DAY}')
    print(f'  Group: {timeload.GROUP_NAME} | ID: {timeload.ID}')

delete

Deletes all time loads data from both Python and Civil NX.

CS.TimeLoad.delete()

Examples

Basic Time Loads

# Create basic time loads without group name
CS.TimeLoad(12, 30)

CS.TimeLoad.create()

Time Loads with Group

# Create time loads with load group specification
CS.TimeLoad(10, 35, "DL")
CS.TimeLoad(11, 25, "DL")

CS.TimeLoad.create()

Time Loads with Specific ID

# Create time loads with manual ID assignment
CS.TimeLoad(11, 25, "DL", id=2)

CS.TimeLoad.create()
