MCDXKit

Open-source tools for Mathcad workflows.

Convert ENSOFT GROUP reports into executable Calcpad worksheets, calculated results and native Mathcad formula packages. One engine powers the CLI, Python SDK and local browser.

• Calculate from source. Read final local-load summaries and execute supported equations with CalcpadCE.
• Inspect the work. Open source files, review input changes and view fresh results in the browser.
• Run a pipeline. Convert folders with bounded workers, audit trails and verified resume.

Quickstart

Requires Python 3.10+. The one-time calculator build needs Git and the .NET 10 SDK. Bring a compatible private template.

# In your Python environment
pip install mcdxkit
mcdxkit setup-engine

mcdxkit convert report.gp11t --template reference.mcdx \
  --output results/design.mcdx

Each conversion produces .cpd (executable worksheet), .html (calculated results), .mcdx (native formulas) and .audit.json (provenance). Existing files are preserved.

Browser or batch

mcdxkit serve

mcdxkit batch ./reports --recursive --template reference.mcdx \
  --output-dir ./results --workers 4 --resume

The browser guides Files → Inputs → Changes → Outputs. Select your report and template, inspect the source, then calculate. CLI guide · Docker deployment

Python SDK

from mcdxkit.engine import convert

result = convert("report.gp11t", "reference.mcdx", "results/design.mcdx")
print(result["calculated_worksheet"])

Use the same engine from scripts, jobs or agents. See the SDK contract and portable skill setup.

Current scope

Supports GROUP .gp11t/text reports in kip/in and the fixed-head compression-pile template profile. CalcpadCE executes translated formulas; Prime-native execution remains unverified. Unsupported equations fail explicitly. Private engineering files stay out of the distribution. Calculation and compatibility details
