Multithreading meshing

Status:

by

on

Everyone knows that make proper mesh for complex geometry on the first try is impossible.

Robot makes perfect mesh, but, unfortunatelly uses only one core of CPU, so process is quite long on powerful computers.

Please, make multuthreading support for meshing and we can save a lot of precious hours :-)!

Dynamic Wind capabilities

Status:

by

on

In some codes wind load is divided in two parts - dynamic and static.

For example, in Russian Codes, the dynamic part of wind load depends on: static load, masses and natural frequency.
Unfortunatelly, Robot hase no capabilities to calculate dynamic wind load automatically.

Non constant elastic coefficient for calculating slabs on grade

Status:

by

on

Quite long slabs on grade has irregular foundation pressure, thus they have to have irregularal elastic coefficient to calculate forces in slabs correctly.

Unfortunately, right now Robot has no capabilities to set non-constant elastic coefficient for the slabs.

Young Modulus Reduction

Status:

by

on

For some calculations sometimes we need to take into account different Young modulus depending of the nature of load cases. This is expected for a single model, to avoid duplication of model data. We see such requirements in Eurocode and also AISC codes.

User manual - tutorials

I would be very useful to see a more detailed user manual with some complete step by step tutorials (especially RC buildings) as mentioned here

here

Also more verification manuals would be helpful.

Steel connections

Splice connection between steel members. Also it would be very
useful the designer to have the information of the weight of the steel
connection.

Push over

Status:

by

on

A general update in push over analysis should take place.

There are several issues that must be resolved in order this type of analysis to be completed in Robot. Some of these are already posted, for instance the following links:

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Robot-Structural/Frustrating-plastic-hinges/m-p/3649112/highl...

..and many others like the ability to set a starting case (usually containing dead and live loads) before the push over analysis e.t.c (I think that some of them are already posted as SR in Subscription Center).
