ROS with Robot Structural Analysis

ali_ihsan_adham — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 09:31:46 GMT

Hi,

I’m coming back to Robot after a few years. I’m trying to create a simple column model by running a VBA script. While I can find a few Robot libraries for RC design and other things, I can not find “Robot Object Library” in the VBA editor Tools->references.

Is it still possible to to run Robot from a VBA macro? If so, how can I install or add the Robot Object Library?

Thank you in advance

Hi @Stephane.kapetanovic

Thanks for the reply.

ROBOT was installed automatically on my work machine, so I cannot access the installation files.

Also, I can not find this folder on my computer.
C:\Autodesk\WI\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 20xx\x64\Tools\RSASDK

There is no "Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 20xx" under WI. Is there another way to access the ROBOT object library from VBA?

Thanks in advance,

hi @ali_ihsan_adham

You will not receive assistance here for your own specific installation, you must contact your support service.
If the SDK is installed, Excel automatically detects the possible locations of the .tlb files.

The Robot library appears in the list of references as “Robot Object Model XX.0.”
To check if it is accessible, open Excel, go to the Developer tab, then Visual Basic, open Tools > References, and search for it in the list by ticking the corresponding box.
You can also manually browse to a path such as:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Robot Structural Analysis Professional 20XX\System\Exe\robotom.tlb

Best Regards
