Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

[#1]

Hi,

I'm producing a model which consists of 4 panels of timber joined together. I have modelled the connections between the panels as 'fixed', is this correct? 

I've put the mesh as a simple mesh of 10 by 10. The panels are triangular so will this make a difference?

When i go to calculate, the error message 'example not specified' comes up, do you have any idea why this is?

Thanks

Caroline

If this is the connection type that exists in the real structure then it is

If you are happy with the way Robot meshed panels then the parameters are OK but you may find it easier if you define density of meshes by size of elements instead as shown on the attached picture.

Check what calculation models have been assigned to the panels - should be shell.
