Deflected Shape of Structure

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 09:47:47 GMT

Has a deflected shape function been added to Autodesk Robot?

A deflected shape function is available on Bentley STAAD. This can then be scaled up enabling the viewer to understand how the program is modelling the structure. This is helpful as a check of the model.

I attach a screen shot of the deflected shape from STAAD. If something similar could be added to Robot (if not already present), that would be extremely helpful.

@Anonymous Artur Kosakowski marked post as the solution. If it did not work as an answer, please post your reply in this thread so that I can unmark the solution.

Dear Rafascudo

Thank you for your helpful response. I have now got the deflected shape visualisation to work on my RSA model.

Kind Regards

Ben
