Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

[#1]

Hello everybody,

I wonder if it is posible to get the internal forces from RSA to XL :

- with the possibility of choosing the dimensions ( N, daN, daN.N, etc)

- getting first the values for the origin of the bar for all the load cases and then the values for the end of the bar

- getting Fx as Fxcompression and Fxtraction

if someone could help me please!

Make these settings in table then select whole table (CTRL+A) or some records then copy it to clipboard then paste it in Excel

or take a look at this thread and find there example macros (message 12, 14, 19, maybe 22):

OK thanks!

message 22 is (almost) what I was looking for.

The file for message 22 attached.

What changes would you like to have?

[#5]

Thanks for the file!

I would like to have Fx as traction and compression, if possible.

My final goal is to analyse those values in order to get the max bending moment and the max of FX and Fz resultant (squareroot(Fx²+Fz²)) for each point (node) on the bar.

I've you this kind of macro?

[#6]

Try this

[#7]

OK thanks,

I will add some macro to get the maximum force for each bar extremity in order to design the connection.

I could use the SpreadsheetCalculator, but for the moment, we don't use the Eurocode5....

I have also such macro

[#9]

GREAT!

I will just add a column with sqr(Fx²+Fy²+Fz²) and that will be fine.

Many thanks

After analyse, this macro is not exactly what I wanted.

I have a hall with several time the same frame.

I want to select the same bar of each frame (all the rafters for exemple), and find the bar which has the maximum Sqr(Fx²+Fz²) and the maximum My.

Would you have some macro like that?
