TORVA

TORVA is a structural engineering toolkit for the Korean Design Standards (KDS). This connector lets structural engineers use TORVA from Claude.

What it does

• RC beam design (beam_design): designs ordinary reinforced concrete rectangular beams to KDS 14 20 from b, h, span and the moments and shear at both ends and midspan. Returns main bars, stirrups, the governing demand/capacity ratio and O.K / N.G, computed by the same engine as the TORVA desktop program.
• Code search (kds_search, kds_read): searches the full text of KDS and KCS and reads the clause body, so answers can cite the code number and clause.
• MIDAS Gen NX (gen_read, gen_create, gen_update, gen_delete, gen_undo): reads and edits the model open in Gen NX through the MIDAS Gen NX API. Every edit is previewed as a before/after table and is written only after the user approves. Each edit returns an undo id that restores the previous values for 14 days, including elements removed together with a deleted node.
• torva_guide and torva_feedback: a usage guide for the tools and Gen tables, and a way to report a missing tool.

Who it is for: structural engineers in Korea who use TORVA and MIDAS Gen NX.

Requirements: a TORVA account (Kakao, Naver or Google sign-in). Gen NX tools need a TORVA subscription and a MAPI key saved in My page → AI 연결, with Gen NX connected in its MIDAS API window.

Limits: beam design covers ordinary RC rectangular beams with D19–D25 main bars and D10 two-leg stirrups. Column and slab design are not included yet. Results are for the engineer to review.
