Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

[#1]

Hello Everyone i hope you can help.

I was wondering is it possible (and if so how) to import nodes from a spreadsheet?
I have a spreadsheet with all the node coordinates and was hoping to use this to construct a steel frame.

Any help would be most gratefully recieved!

thanks

You should see this example_:

http://www.robobat.fr/n/ros/662/

The code should be like this (if you have a list of node coordinates in column A, B and C)

Dim Robot As Object
Set Robot = CreateObject("Robot.Application")

Dim nods As Object
' --- create nodes
Set nods = Robot.Project.Structure.Nodes
For i = 1 To n + 1
  nods.Create i, cells(i,1), cells(i,2), cells(i,3)
Next i
Set Robot = Nothing
End Sub

Hope this can help you!

Regards

The simplest way is to use Copy&Paste on Edit tab of the table of nodes. As in this video.
