| contents | <p><span lang="EN-US">Structural engineering workflows often require converting raw CAD geometry into analysis‑ready structural models. A recurring bottleneck is the manual extraction and transcription of point coordinates into joint definitions for downstream tools such as SACS, STAAD, or SESAM. This document presents a lightweight, automated workflow that transforms CAD point entities into standardized joint definitions using a simple CSV‑based intermediate format and a Python processing script. The approach demonstrates how early‑stage automation can reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and establish a reproducible foundation for more advanced geometry‑processing pipelines.</span></p> |
