from midas_civil import *

MAPI_KEY("eyJ1ciI6IklOMjQwN0ZZVDIiLCJwZyI6ImNpdmlsIiwi") # Paste your MAPI Key

# Create nodes for settlement analysis
for i in range(10):
    Node(i*5, 0, 0)
Node.create()

for i in range(9):
    Element.Beam(i+1, i+2)
Element.create()

# Create Settlement Groups
Settlement.Group("Foundation_A", 0.025, [1, 2, 3])
Settlement.Group("Foundation_B", 0.015, [4, 5, 6])
Settlement.Group("Pier_Settlement", 0.030, [7, 8, 9, 10])

# Create Settlement Load Cases
Settlement.Case("Uniform_Settlement", ["Foundation_A"], 1.0, 1, 1, "Uniform foundation settlement")
Settlement.Case("Maximum_Settlement", ["Foundation_A", "Foundation_B", "Pier_Settlement"], 1.5, 1, 3, "Maximum expected settlement scenario")

# Create all settlement conditions
Settlement.create()

print("All settlement conditions created successfully!")
