Export from revit to robot!

I export the calculation diagram, the load from Revit software, the robot software does not receive the load on the plate " none". (When assigning Sheet Material, plate thickness, Robot software still receives it normally.) Please help me.

Wind load to RobotPanel"None"

@thachtoantrung

You need to apply a material which contains Physical Asset in Revit so panels are created is Robot. Otherwise Face object is created which does not support surface loads.

It's not a bug, is it a feature of the Robot software? So why does my friend use my Revit file to export to their Robot software, but their Robot software still receives the load? I do not really understand. "None" only has the effect of transmitting wind loads in the building. I don't want it to have volume and computational analysis.. Thanks a lot

@thachtoantrung

Pay attention that the default material for Analytical Panel in Revit defined in the Structural template does not have any Physical Asset

Robot needs to have material properties to create a thickness for panels.

Apply an appropriate material in Revit, which contains Physical Asset. Or add a Physical Asset with Mechanical properties to the default Analytical Panel material in Revit.

An alternative solution is to apply a thickness in Robot to the Faces objects. Faces will be turned to panels and the load will be applied.

Thank you. I know that with my Robot software. But why my friend used my revit file to transfer to robot software with "none" sheet, material is "By category", "0" thickness, but their robot software still receives enough "Area load" load on plate has no physical properties and mine does not. So sad.

I don't want the software to calculate it. I just want to think of it as a weightless, thickness plate to transmit the load. My friends all do the same and the robot software still picks up "Area Load" on that non-physical plate, but I don't.

If you want the panel to be a weightless, thickness plate to transmit the load, then apply Claddings properties to this Face object. In Robot choose the command Geometry > Additional Attributes > load Distribution - Claddings...

And assign chosen distribution label (One-way, or Two-way) and the load will be distributed to members.
