Robot Structural Analysis

Composite Design

The extension is used for the Composite Steel Beam design. Slab and all beams must be associated with the same level.

Load Takedown 

Using the Load Takedown extension, you can perform a simulation of load takedown for vertical forces and stresses caused by these forces in vertical elements of a structure defined in Revit ® Structure.

You can load necessary information from Revit® Structure:

  • geometry
  • material parameters
  • supports
  • loads
  • load cases
  • load combinations.

All results are presented in appropriate tables and on diagrams.

 
Assumptions:
  • Visualization of vertical forces includes:
    • for columns: vertical force Fx
    • for walls: a sum of vertical forces on the top edge of an element.
  • Stresses are calculated using the following formula: vertical force / cross-sectional area.

Integration with Robot Structural Analysis

The "enabler" facilitates the powerful bi-directional integration of Revit® Structure and Autodesk® Robot Structure Analysis. Upon installation of the enabler, the user can dynamically import and export data between the two products.

Reinforcement Design

The Extension is responsible for reinforcement transfer from Revit Structure to Autodesk® Robot Structure Analysis enabling further verification and generation of the reinforcement designed in Autodesk® Robot Structure Analysis. Columns and beams are taken into consideration in the first version.
