The Calculation Manager calculates and prepares results for the presentation of maps in structure models without using Robot.
To launch, select Calculation Manager from the Start Menu > Programs > Autodesk > Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2023 > Other programs.
Names of structure models are provided on the project list. To add structure model file to the list, click (...) to the right of the File name column.
Computer resources are maximized for calculations of structure models when using the Project Manger. Additionally, several structure models can be calculated and prepared, one by one.
An editable field for the default access paths to structure model files displays at the top of the dialog. Click ... to select a directory for the added files.
The following tools are also available at the top of the dialog.
-
- Deletes a selected structure model file from the list. -
- Moves a selected structure model file up one position up in the file list, changing the order of performed calculations / prepared results for structure models on the list. -
- Moves a selected structure model file up one position down in the file list, changing the order of performed calculations / prepared results for structure models on the list.
A table listing the structure model files displays in the central part of the dialog. The order of the files determines the order of performance. Parameters for each structure model file concerning calculations can be selected.
The columns for the table are as follows.
- Run calculations - Activates the calculations / preparation of results for a structure model. If deselected, calculations are not run, but the preparation of results according to the template selected and saved in the project will perform accordingly.
- Prepare for calculations - Activates the generation of a structure calculation model. This does not need to be activated for previously generated structure models.
- Status column - Displays the calculation status for structure model files on the list.
The following tools are also available at the bottom of the dialog.
- Execute - Click to run calculations / preparation of results for indicated structure models files in the list. Files will be calculated according to the order on the list.
- Information concerning computer resources and the calculation time.
- Ignore warnings - When enabled, calculations are not stopped when warnings are detected in a structure model.
- Display note - When enabled, a report is displayed once calculations are completed.
