Create Robot Structural Analysis Model
Description
The Create Robot Structural Analysis Model link (under the Calculate menu item) will generate an equivalent structural model in Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis Professional (Robot).
The Robot model is generated from the currently defined Autodesk® Structural Bridge Design (SBD) model. Once in Robot, analysis types not available in SBD can be performed, e.g. Response Spectrum, Time History, CFD based Wind Simulation and Footfall.
The link is one-directional, so you can transfer models to Robot, but not visa versa.
Single stage models are generated. Select the appropriate stage first in SBD and then create the Robot model.
The following features are not supported:
- Non-linear definitions, e.g. lift off supports, limited-elastic or limited-plastic supports, beam element limits.
- Structure Loads. Existing SBD loads are not transferred.
Requirements
Install Robot relating to the same product year as SBD.
