## Description

This MCP server provides essential engineering tools for steel construction planning. It allows AI agents to generate chronological assembly plans using `plan_erection_sequence`, determine optimal crane locations with `optimize_crane_positioning`, identify necessary temporary supports via `calculate_stability_requirements`, and forecast timelines with `estimate_construction_schedule`. It ensures structural integrity by accounting for wind limits and structural dependencies during the erection process.

## Tools

### calculate_stability_requirements
Identifies where temporary bracing is needed to prevent collapse

### estimate_construction_schedule
Provides a time-based forecast of the erection process

### optimize_crane_positioning
Determines the best locations for cranes to lift members

### plan_erection_sequence
Generates the primary chronological assembly plan for the steel structure

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate an erection sequence for a building with these member weights: [500, 1200, 800] and these dependencies: [{'member': 'beam_1', 'depends_on': 'column_1'}].
```

**Response:** 
```
The assembly sequence is: column_1, then beam_1. Total duration is 3 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Where should I place my crane for a layout with a 5000kg capacity and these weights: [1000, 2000]?
```

**Response:** 
```
The crane should be positioned at the North-East corner to reach all members with a safety margin of 3000kg.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the stability requirements for this sequence: ['col_1', 'beam_1'] with a wind limit of 40km/h?
```

**Response:** 
```
Temporary bracing is required at 'beam_1' to maintain stability until permanent connections are made.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool handle wind constraints?**
The `calculate_stability_requirements` tool evaluates wind limits to determine if temporary bracing is sufficient to prevent collapse during high-wind conditions.

**Can I optimize crane placement for specific site layouts?**
Yes, `optimize_crane_positioning` analyzes the building layout and site access to find the best locations for cranes to reach all required members.

**Does the tool account for structural dependencies?**
Yes, `plan_erection_sequence` strictly follows structural dependencies to ensure that supporting members are installed before the components that rely on them.
