Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

[#1]

Is it possible to include the loads in Revit, do the combinations in Robot, update the Revit model and then run the load takedown extension?

Basically what I would like to do is use the automatic combination in Robot, but still use the Revit's extension.

Thanks

In my experience the loads / combos created in Robot won't go back through the vortex.......................

anyway, Revit just uses the trapezoidal method that you can set in Robot anyway.  Better to do it in Robot or export to CBS...

Loads and combinations created \ added in Robot are not imported (I mean non visible) in RST. But they are not lost. If you export this model once again to Robot you will still have them in Robot.

So if they are not visible in RST they can not be exported to Extension

Tony and Rafa,

as I have to send the foundation loads to another company to do the deep foundantion, I was trying to use the load take down extension due to live load reduction (Robot doesn't do it, am I right?) and to speed the documentation process.

Does CBS do live load reduction?

Thanks

No, only in Load Takedown Extension.

Is there a way, to make the load takedown extension used in RST available in Robot ? It seems that he live load reduction factor works only for Eurocode 0 and ASCE, am I right ? Could we me make the extension create for RST available in Robot by the ''gestionnaire de modules complémentaires'' window as illustrated in the attached capture screen.

thank's for quick answer
