Robot for Brazilian projects

Anonymous — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 01:52:54 GMT

Hello,

I was looking for a steel structure analysis solution and just found that Robot could do this job.

However, I also found that it has a problem with Brazilian norms and other stuff. Because of that, people were avoiding the software.

I would like to know if there is any solution to those problems. If not, what do they impact on my projects?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous

There are many engineers passionate about Robot and many projects in Brazil. We have a Robot forum in portuguese and they are exchanging ideas there, so I recommend you take a look here.

Well , that is a 20 year old request by myself since Robobat days when the software name was Robot Millenium.

Despite Brazil being on the top 10 economies in the world for quite a long time , we were always completely ignored by Robobat and now by autodesk.

Many talks along these 20 years , but the best we had was ,"use API and create a spreadsheet by yourself" .

So , no problems to use any of the RSA featured analysis ,to solve static, dynamic,etc problems.

Regarding codes , use AISC LRFD for steel and Eurocodes for concrete . Those are the closest foreign codes similars to ours.

Or build your own custom made spreadsheet , which of course will be very limited compared to RSA official results , specially for concrete structures

I agree with Rafael, Autodesk should take a better look in our economy and include the Brazilian's code in Autodesk Robot.
