This session presents a practical bridge design automation workflow using the MIDAS CIVILn NX API and Excel VBA. Based on a theme park development project with more than 20 similar bridge structures, the presentation explains how repetitive manual modeling, analysis, and result extraction were transformed into a one click automated process. The workflow uses Excel as the main input and output interface, where engineers can define key bridge parameters such as span length, deck width, girder layout, abutment geometry, foundation size, loads, and soil spring data. Through the API script, MIDAS Civil NX automatically generates the model, applies supports and loads, runs the analysis, and sends results back to Excel for design checking. The session highlights how API automation can reduce bridge modeling time from 5 to 8 hours to less than one minute, minimize manual input errors, support fast parametric studies, and allow engineers to focus more on optimization and engineering decisions.
