General Information

Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis Professional (Robot) is a structural analysis and design software application. Use it to analyze any type and shape of a structure as well as to design elements of the structure (steel, concrete, timber elements).

Algorithms implemented in Robot allow analysis of geometry of a structure model defined in Revit. It also allows advanced meshing of planar elements (plates, walls, shells) included in the model. Analysis of the following structures is possible:

Using the complex modeling and analysis capabilities of Robot, users of Revit can directly analyze their models.

During the Revit - Robot link process, entities/elements are converted as described:

After transferring the Revit model to Robot, you can perform structural analysis in Robot; then the computational model is created using the finite element method.

Robot will perform the following types of analysis:

You can transfer changes in structural data (such as those arising from steel design or a buckling analysis performed in Robot) to Revit. Integration with Robot Structural Analysis allows for changes in:
