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.
In this paper, a modular design methodology is proposed for numerical simulation of parallel robots. Static stiffness is a mechanical characteristic that describes the behaviour of a structure under static force in terms of elastic deflection and can be evaluated for robotic manipulators by means of Finite Element Method numerical simulation. Many parallel robots have multiple identical legs that can be considered as multiple instances of a unique sub-assembly. On this base, we present an efficient approach to perform numerical simulation of these robots. In addition, an application case to the Isoglide family of parallel robots is presented to show the effectiveness of this approach. A new rhombic leg structure is also compared with a classical leg structure. Compliance maps for the Isoglide3-T3 robot with rhombic legs are also provided. Finally, structural symmetry of the geometrical model of the robot is used to find symmetries in the compliance maps and to check calculation correctness.
