Hi adsk,
It will be very useful if will be added to Robot Structural Analysis Professional the option to automatically create groups for steel bar verification.
The rules to create the groups could be three:
1) grouping by cross section (Hea, Ipe, ....)
2) grouping by bar type ( columns, beams, bracings, ecc)
3) both rules merged (1+2).
This function will be very powerfull in large models when the user want to show in the calculation report the table of verification of all the bars and also plot the detailed report for the top ratio bar for its family (for example Hea or column or both, as previously described).
Obviously the auto group don't have to overwrite the manul group defined, and it must be always up to date, also after a property modification for some bars ( change cross section or change verification rule).
I think that this is not difficult to do for DEV team and it will be very useful for all the users, specially for the steel stucture designers as me.
Hope for this, greetings.
