• MATERIAL

  Name of the panel material.

• Name

  Name of the panel.

• AREA

  Area.

• VOLUME

  Volume (if it exists).

• STRUCTURAL TYPE

  Structural type

  The following results for the argument are available:

  • BEAM
  • COLUMN
  • SLAB
  • WALL
  • UNDEFINED
• NUMBER

  Number of the panel.

• NODES

  Nodes selection for the panel.

• PARTS_COUNT

  Number of parts in the panel.

• GEOMETRY_TYPE

  Geometry type of the panel.

  The following results for the argument are available:

  • NONE
  • POLYLINE
  • CONTOUR
  • ARC
  • CIRCLE
  • INTERSECTION

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.

Panel no.

The following input methods are available:

• Number - Type an integer.
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@".

Note: If panels are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first panel selected.
