(API) Deformed geometry update

Hi,

I am not sure if Robot can do this.

I need to do an analysis on a "Deformed structure" to model Initial Imperfection. What I previously did on Lusas is that I set up a non-deformed model, applied loading to the model until the required deformation is achieved, then save the deformed geometry (without lock-in stresses) for later use.

Cheers

Are you looking for this

or something more simple?

Hi,

Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to do.

It means Robot can't do it by default...??

I found it in my drawer 🙂

Maybe enough for you.

This macro updates model geometry taking into account deformation of selected case
