Robot Structural Analysis (Steel building)

Define columns section by selecting bar sections, choose steel as the section type, and configure beam, column, timber, aluminium, or joist; adjust dimensions and inertia for standard or parametric sections.

Create two groups for secondary beams by selecting from groups, such as rafters, X rafters, columns, and the letters x, y, k, using search or by name.

Assign loads on floors by defining self weight, dead and live loads, snow, and floor L values in the steel building analysis tool, applying them to floors and beams.

Perform structural analysis and review results via graphs, adjust beam section shape parameters, and observe deformations with self weight W X and W Y while setting X values.

Learn composite beam design in a steel building by using American W sections for secondary beams, applying loads, and analyzing moments and displacements.

Develop seismic analysis for steel buildings by computing base shear from the design spectrum, total mass, height, and soil type, incorporating correction factors and importance classes.

Define seismic load, set up model, assign modes and stories, compute seismic weight, and derive seismic equivalent using the force method for a five-story steel frame.

Assess story drift in steel buildings by comparing top and bottom story displacements, applying rv and v-based drift limits for non structural and brittle elements across importance classes.

Explore bracing parameters for seismic analysis by changing analysis types and behavior factor to evaluate braced steel frames under seismic codes.

Analyze base shear in a steel building model by evaluating seismic direction components, eccentricities, and story forces.

Generate automatic and manual load combinations for seismic loads and accidental relations. Explore a range around one hundred K, with combinations from 17 to 116.

Check story drift by examining displacement results under seismic x and y directions, comparing maximum story displacements, and verifying whether drifts meet design criteria.

Design the footing under the column and determine reinforcement patterns, spacing, and dimensions through calculation options, ensuring capacity and stability.

Design base connections for steel buildings by modeling plates, anchor bolts, and welds for column footing, evaluate connection capacity, and export drawings to AutoCAD.
