Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

[#1]

Is there any function in robot 2012 that automatically generates snow / wind loads to an existing frame ? or

Can you use the frame generator for making snow / wind loads (all different zones) on an existing frame ?

It depends on national code set in job preferences. For some only 2D, for some 3D also.

[#3]

if the wind and snow 2D / 3D field cannot be chosen, does this mean that it cannot be used with the national code currently set ? (Finland)

Yes, but select French code, then specify "your" pressures and check generated loads.

Hello,

If I understand well, wind and snow loads according to the Eurocode cannot be generated automatically in RSA 2012. at least for 3D structures.

Do you happen to know whether it will be implemented in RSA 2013?

Thanks for your answer

If you mean arbitrary shape of 3D structure then this is not possible (you can use cladding load instead) however this is possible for a  warehouse structure types that are based on number of identical frames (you enter the geometry of a single frame in a 2D Frame model and then you provide spacing among the frames creating a 3D frame model).

As we have already mentioned in couple of the topic due to the company policy we are not able to provide any information about the development plans on this forum. They have to be officially announced by Autodesk first.

Thanks for your quick and clear answer.
