Load Report

The load report is a tool that sums the loads applied to a given structural element.

This tool is available for all structure types in Robot.

There are serviceability and factored values of loads. Serviceability values of loads come from the database; whereas, factored values are calculated by multiplying serviceability values by the appropriate load factors.

In Robot, the option applies to planar loads resulting from dead loads. Dead loads include loads caused by:

• Surface weight (weight of roofing, cladding, insulation, and so on)
• Density (weight of constructional materials, embankment materials, and so on).

Calculated load values are not transferred to load records. You define load values for individual load cases using the values calculated in the Load Report dialog.

Note: After changing unit loads in the database, load values are not updated.
