Bidirectional linking enables accurate structural analysis and design results to be updated throughout the model, thanks to coordinated construction documentation provided with Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Powerful Workflows for Structural Analysis & Documentation
Create structural models and perform structural analysis within Robot Structural Analysis Professional, and seamlessly transfer the model and results to AutoCAD® Structural Detailing software to generate fabrication drawings. Within this ecosystem of structural engineering software, structural engineers can take advantage of an integrated workflow from design through analysis to fabrication.
Powerful auto meshing generation techniques enable structural engineers to effortlessly work with even the most complex models. Native automatic mesh generation and manual definition of meshing parameters can be manipulated independently for each panel. This functionality provides the ability to create a high-quality finite element mesh.
Robot Structural Analysis Professional supports multinational design teams using many languages, including English, French, Romanian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Chinese, and Japanese. You can perform structural analysis in one language and output in another, and you can use imperial and metric units in combination within the same structural model.
Robot Structural Analysis Professional includes more than 60 sections and materials databases from around the world. With an array of 70 built-in design codes, structural engineers can work with country-specific section shapes, imperial or metric units, and country-specific building codes within the same integrated model.
Investigate the linear and nonlinear behavior of many types of structures. Enjoy simple and effective analysis of many types of nonlinearity, such as P-delta analysis, tension/compression members, supports, cables, and plastic hinges
Integrated Design Solution for Reinforced Concrete and Steel
Robot Structural Analysis Professional contains integrated reinforced concrete design and steel design modules based on more than 40 international steel codes and 30 reinforced concrete codes, simplifying the design process and assisting with the selection and verification of structural elements.
State-of-the-art fast dynamic solvers enable you to carry out structural dynamic analysis for any size of structure. The efficient analysis algorithms are designed and optimized for quad-core and multicore computer processors, giving structural engineers the calculation speed to deliver accurate results for demanding structures in minutes versus hours.
Robot Structural Analysis Professional provides flexibility in obtaining analysis results. Review results as visualizations and raw data in several formats.
Robot Structural Analysis Professional uses Microsoft COM (Component Object Model) technologies, enabling an open and flexible API (application programming interface).
The options available in the typical reinforcement dialog boxes are now the same in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2012 and the Autodesk Revit Extensions for Autodesk Revit Structure 2012 software.
Columns—Define new types of transversal reinforcement using typical arrangements of bars for a specified number of main bars.
Beams—Create lap splices for the main reinforcement of a beam. This ability allows for the correct generation of reinforcement, which takes into account commercial lengths of reinforcing bars and correct distribution of lap splices in the element.
The Robot Structural Analysis Professional API (Application Programming Interface) has been adjusted to accommodate new functionality of required reinforcement of slabs and reinforced concrete bars. A new library set provides an API and support for programming of external reinforced concrete calculations. External verification of provided reinforcement in columns and beams module has been enabled.
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional now includes improved steel connections design:
Specify arbitrary spacing, both vertically and horizontally, of anchors in a column base.
Reactions appearing in the supported structure node are now included in calculations instead of internal forces acting at the column stem, for all Column Base types—fixed, pinned, and concrete.
Column Base connections may now be defined outside of the supported node, on the structure height, which allows internal forces from all bars connecting the upper nodes to be taken into account in determining the connection load.
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2012 software includes a number of steel member design enhancements:
It is now possible to force the analysis of steel members in the elastic state (class 3), in accordance with Eurocodes.
Dutch Annex to Eurocode has been created, and steel members can now be designed according to the new NEN-EN1993-1-1:2006+C1:2006/NB:2007, Dutch National Annex NEN-EN 1993-1-1/NB.
The new release includes improved Interaction between automatic and manual definition of steel bracing positions. In addition, a new option for automatic buckling length calculation of member segments between internal bracings allows calculating buckling length coefficients of member segments between specified bracings. Automatic procedures for regular sway or braced frames have been implemented for all existing national codes.
Canadian Steel Design code S16-01 has been updated to the version S16-09—Design of Steel Structures published in September 2009.
Eurocode requirements have been further integrated for the scope of loads and their combinations in calculation modules, and in the design of steel and RC. Load categories (subnatures) have been introduced, and types of combinations are distinguished.
Serviceability Limit State (SLS) combinations have been grouped into types, depending on duration:
Characteristic
Frequent
Quasi-permanent
Type choices are available for both manual and automatic load combinations. Automatic generation of load combinations has been extended with the following national codes:
The method for calculating reduced forces for stories has been updated to sum applied loads for a story’s node. Previously, the calculation integrated internal forces in a story cross-section.
You can now update a structural model created in Autodesk Revit Structure 2012 software with changes made in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2012 software, such as structure calculations, design of structure elements, and changes in structure geometry. Changes to the analytical model for columns, beams, and bracings completed in Robot Structural Analysis Professional are reflected in the corresponding Revit Structure analytical model. Analytical-to-physical model distance tolerance is respected when reporting such changes as warnings.
Enjoy enhanced synchronization of local coordinate systems (neutral axis placement and element rotation angle for columns, beams, and bracings) between Revit Structure and Robot Structural Analysis elements. The compatibility of Revit Structure and Robot Structural Analysis models is now checked and reported, making it easier to avoid accidental synchronization of incompatible models, such as models with older file versions.
Improved generation of anchorages in beams enables greater flexibility. If you decide to not make changes, the generation of anchorages will occur automatically in the following order: straight bars, bars with hooks, straight bars and loops, and bars with hooks and loops.
You can now define and present categories for dead, live, and snow loads in reinforced concrete modules. Servicing of SLS combination types in reinforced concrete modules (characteristic, frequent, quasi-permanent) is now supported for the following codes: EN 1992-1-1:2004+AC:2008 and National Application Documents (NAD).
