Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| connectA | Connect to the pinned local PLAXIS endpoint. |
| disconnectA | Disconnect the current PLAXIS worker session. |
| connection_statusA | Get state for the pinned PLAXIS role. |
| list_membersA | List available attributes on a PLAXIS object path. |
| inspectB | Inspect a PLAXIS object or property. |
| project_infoA | Return common project metadata and units. |
| list_phasesA | Return a compact model-phase summary. |
| list_materialsA | Return a compact material summary. |
| list_objectsB | List the model objects of one kind, with the path to pass back. Each object carries |
| model_stateA | Report whether the model can be calculated, and what is stopping it. Read-only. Returns mesh status and element counts, the phase table
with each phase's marked-for-calculation flag, and any features
with no material assigned. |
| set_propertyA | Set a writable PLAXIS property using a dotted path. For a material reference such as Plate_1.Material use
assign_material instead -- PLAXIS needs a real object there, and no
string spelling of the material's name works through this tool.
Setting Identification renames the object, which changes the |
| call_methodA | Call an explicitly named PLAXIS method with literal positional arguments. Every argument must be a scalar literal (number, string, boolean, or null) -- there is no way to pass a reference to another PLAXIS object or phase through this tool. A string argument is sent to PLAXIS as a quoted text literal, not as a reference, so it cannot stand in for an object or phase parameter even when it names one. Use this only for methods whose PLAXIS command reference shows purely literal parameters; prefer list_objects, model_state, and the first-class tools over probing with dump. |
| new_projectB | Create a new PLAXIS project. |
| open_projectA | Open a PLAXIS project. An absolute path is used as given; a relative path (a bare filename) resolves against the working directory, so "model.p2dx" opens the project in the directory the session was started in. The result reports the resolved absolute path. |
| close_projectA | Close the active PLAXIS project. |
| recover_projectB | Recover the current PLAXIS project. |
| save_projectA | Save the active project, optionally to a new path. Omit filename to save the open project in place. An absolute filename is used as given; a relative one (a bare "model.p2dx") saves into the working directory the session was started in, not PLAXIS's own directory. The result reports the resolved absolute path. |
| create_phaseA | Create a new phase relative to an existing one. PLAXIS always has an InitialPhase; the first real phase is typically created with reference_phase="InitialPhase". |
| set_current_phaseA | Make an existing phase the current phase for further edits. |
| activateC | Activate one or more objects in one or more phases. |
| deactivateC | Deactivate one or more objects in one or more phases. |
| calculateA | Calculate phases. Omit phases to calculate every phase currently marked for calculation; provide phases to calculate exactly those phases regardless of their marked-for-calculation state. |
| view_resultsA | Open a calculated phase in the PLAXIS Output application. This is the only route from a calculated Input model to the Output endpoint's results: Output reads whatever its application has open, and the Output role deliberately has no open_project. Call this for a phase whose status is "calculated", then read results through the Output server. |
| set_phase_propertyA | Set a property of an object for one specific phase only. This is PLAXIS's phase-scoped setproperties form, distinct from set_property, which changes a property without phase scoping. |
| set_modeA | Switch the PLAXIS Input working mode. force_new_intersection is only meaningful for mode "mesh", "water", or "stages"; it is rejected for "soil" or "structures". |
| generate_meshB | Generate the mesh, optionally with a relative element size factor. enhanced_refinement requires relative_element_size to also be given. |
| create_pointA | Create one or more points at [x, y] coordinates. |
| create_lineA | Create a line, or a polyline through 3 or more vertices. Each vertex is either an [x, y] coordinate or the path of an existing point. Only the vertex-list form of the line command is implemented; the angle/relative/vector sub-command form is not. |
| create_polygonA | Create a polygon from 3 or more vertices. Each vertex is either an [x, y] coordinate or the path of an existing point. Only the vertex-list form is implemented; the polycurve-based form is not. |
| create_boreholeB | Add a borehole at the given x-coordinate. |
| create_soillayerC | Add a soil layer with the given height. |
| create_materialA | Create a material set. Omit properties to create a placeholder material that cannot be used to calculate until edited; provide a property/value map (matching PLAXIS's own property names, e.g. "SoilModel", "gammaUnsat") to create a usable material in one call. Property names are checked against the names PLAXIS 2D V22 exposes for that kind and are case-sensitive. "Identification" renames the material: after create_material(kind="soil", properties={"Identification": "SZ"}), the object's path is "SZ", and that is what every later call -- assign_material included -- must use. |
| assign_materialC | Assign a material to one or more features. |
| create_structural_elementA | Add a structural element feature to one or more existing lines. Only the add-to-existing-line form is implemented; creating a new line inline, or element-specific extra overloads, are not. Create the line first with create_line. |
