Robot Structural Analysis Professional is structural load analysis software that verifies code compliance and uses BIM-integrated workflows to exchange data with Revit. It can help you to create more resilient, constructible designs that are accurate, coordinated, and connected to BIM.
Welcome to the Robot Structural Analysis Quick Start Guide, a resource for newcomers and users looking to brush up on basic skills for both structural steel and reinforced concrete models. This guide shows how to develop a basic design workflow, starting with modeling and moving through analysis, design, and documentation creation.
This paper re-approaches structural engineering through an interactive perspective by introducing a series of tools that combine parametric design with structural analysis, thus achieving a synergy between the architectural shape and its structural performance. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates how the design can be realised into an efficient structural form by applying novel techniques of formfinding through the exploitation of the generated analytical output. The combination of these tools and their parametric control contributes to a new design approach that outrides the generation of single solutions and enables a deeper exploration of the design parameters leading to multiple performance-based outcomes. This paper describes the integration between a Parametric Design software, McNeals Grasshopper 3D and a Finite Element Analysis software, Autodesks Robot Structural Analysis. The generated synergy between form and structure is demonstrated through a series of case studies through which the interactive control of the parameters the enables the designer to iterate between a range of form-found solutions.
