Simulation Automation

Visual structural design with Rhino & Grasshopper
Connect Rhino and Grasshopper with GEN NX to generate analysis models from complex parametric geometry. Automatically create member, plate, and solid elements by element type, and quickly update models as design conditions change.
Excel Add-in for template-based automation
Use Excel Add-in templates to connect spreadsheet data directly with GEN NX without complex coding. Automate repetitive tasks with simple templates, and customize workflows using JSON-based API commands.
- - Use templates without coding through simple mouse-click operations
  - Automate repeated tasks with Add-in stacks and flowcharts
  - Customize workflows with JSON-based API commands
  - Support for JSON manuals
MIDAS Plugin for flexible workflow automation
Combine MIDAS plugins to build a more efficient workflow tailored to your engineering tasks. Automate selected processes such as alignment creation, load combinations, and tendon profile conversion without changing your main work environment.
- - Create Alignment: create alignments using lines, curves, spirals, and 3D polylines
  - Easy Load Combinations: edit load combinations beyond standard product functions
  - Tendon Profile Converter: convert 2D/3D element tendons into straight tendon profiles and automatically convert relative tendon coordinates into absolute coordinates
Open marketplace for custom plugins
Access, manage, and expand GEN NX plugins through an open marketplace environment. Users can apply ready-made plugins or develop custom plugins to meet project-specific and company-specific workflow needs.
