Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

[#1]

Hi,

I am trying to insert a truss element from the library, but as soon as I finish editing the parameters,

and click apply,ok  , it gives me an error(this is valid for all library elements)

I have tried going in different project types to see if this is the problem , but same error appears.

i have attached the error mesage,\

the error is :

Syntax incorect:line ignored

(2*%NF-1) %DIAGS "gamma" %DIAGSgamma

thanks in advance,

Dan,Suciu

What language do you work with in Robot and what are the material and steel section databases declared in Job Preferences?

[#3]

the regional settings and printout language is Romanian, the working language is English

the material database is Eurocode with S460M M/L

the steel section database is ROMAN (for romanian steel products)

[#4 · Accepted solution]

The library structures are based on the text files which are language dependent. For Romanian regional settings they have French name for steel (Acier) material assigned which doesn't exist in the Eurocode material database. Please add it  in the way shown on the attached picture. Of course you should change the material of bars to the intended one after inserting the truss.

[#9]

Could you give me the answers on the questions from the message 2?

[#10]

I set all over the Romanian language ! and the second problem : i can` t set up ASD in Preferences (there is ASD and ROBOT - with robot checked). thanks
