Can you assist me with forming the concrete pavement in the robot structural program?</P> Thu, 18 May 2023 21:12:24 GMT JAMES_Chris 2023-05-18T21:12:24Z How do I use a robot to design concrete pavement? https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/robot-structural-analysis-forum/how-do-i-use-a-robot-to-design-concrete-pavement/m-p/11973889#M6303 <P>Hi, I would like to know please how to use the robot structure to design a 5-meter-wide concrete pavement.
