Robot Structural Analysis

Explore installing and setting up Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, creating a new project, selecting project types (building design, concrete, framed 3D, trusses), and navigating the interface.

Model a continuous beam, define axis and supports, apply uniform loads to bars, run calculations, and interpret results such as moment diagrams, reactions, and self-weight effects.

Learn to select structural elements using rectangle selection, bar and number-based picks, and add or remove items with plus and minus controls, then apply special section shapes.

Model a 2d truss in the software, define upper and lower chords with diagonals, apply loads and fixed supports, and review member forces and reactions.

Practice a truss example in robot structural analysis to determine member forces, set supports, apply loads, and read the analysis results and bar forces for each element.
