The NAPA/MAESTRO Interface (NMI) module allows the designer to import a NAPA/NAPA Steel 3D model, which includes the finite element model (geometry, scantling properties, and finite elements), loading information (longitudinal weight and bending moment distributions, tank boundary/content/fill definitions, and hydrostatic equilibrium definition), and model hierarchy definitions such as MAESTRO module group. This interface enables shorter design cycle times by using a single 3D structural design model (from NAPA) that can be re-used as the design matures and is ready for analysis in a matter of minutes.
