Number of labels

Returns a number of labels in a project (bar sections, materials, members, panel thicknesses, supports).

RSA_LABELS_NUMBER (Label type)

The RSA_LABELS_NUMBER formula syntax has the following arguments:

Label type

The following types of labels are available:

• BARSECTIONS

  a number of labels for bar cross sections (sections) defined in the current project (the example of a section label is ‘RECT_Z_1’)

• MATERIALS

  a number of names of materials that are available after opening a structure project in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional; material names may come from:

  • a file including the structure project (names defined in the project)
  • user material database
  • a database corresponding to a selected code.
  Note: A number of material names is not a number of names used in a structure model, but a sum of all materials from the listed files / databases.

• MEMBERS
  a number of bar types defined in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional.

  Note: It is not a number of bar type labels used in a structure model.

• PANELTHICKNESS
  a number of labels for panel thicknesses (finite element thicknesses) defined in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional.

  Note: It is not a number of thickness labels used in a structure model.

• SUPPORTS

  a number of labels for supports defined in the current project (the example of a support label is ‘Pinned’)

Note: If you type an argument in the formula manually, enclose the text in quotation marks. You can also select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.

EXAMPLE

Open the RSA_FORMULAS.rtd and RSA_FORMULAS.xlsx files to get a better understanding of the example below.

Note: The files are located in C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/Examples/Results Connect/RSA.

Formula:

RSA_LABELS_NUMBER("SUPPORTS") - number of support labels

Result (number):

2 (in the project there are two types of supports: Fixed and Pinned)
