Hi!
Robot has any option to intersect a bar element and a panel?
I've tried divide, intersect.. options, but they doesn't work between this elements.
I would like to cut the bars doing an intersection with the panel (the panel is inclinated)
Any ideas about how to solve this?
File attached.
Thank you very much !

Hi Stefano! Thank you very much for answering too fast.
But you solution doesnt work, i've tried it and the program don't divide them!
Pd: Download the file and try it, you will see it.
Pd1: I have menus when I push "intersection", do you have?
Thank you
See the atatched document.

Some more question : any mtehod to divide a pannel easely into X pannels? (with bar, with dividing the edges etc ...)
1. Introduce these edges or bars
2. Run meshing (surface elements should terminate at these objects)
3. Select surface elements generated between two neighboring bars (edges)
4. Create a panel based on this selection

The panels that I used were just auxiliary objects intended to shorten bars as in the current version of Robot it is not possible to cut them by a plane. In general there should be no problem with claddings as they are just 'simplified' panels therefore you can adjust them to the indicated planes if that was your question.
I understand the countour point of the cladding can be adjusted to a plane but what about dividing a cladding into two parts for example? convert it to pannel, use the above procedure and then invert the conversion?
Either like you wrote or delete the 'big' one and create two smaller.
Igor's macro doesn't work. I tried it and when the mesh is generated the point isn't into the panel mesh.
This issue should be resolver in the next version of Robot, too complex.
Dear juandearevalo,
Until new RSA version is released, please try to use this AddIn: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Robot-Structural-Analysis/API-Addin-for-intersection-extension-bars-to...
But please notice - it works well only with flat object. To check flatness of the objects you can with Rafal's AddIn: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Robot-Structural/API-addin-checking-flatness-of-panels-contou...
