Autodesk Robot Verification and Theory

[Anonymous]

I am looking for the Robot Verification Manual as well as a theory manual, particular with reference to the finite elements in robot.

[Artur.Kosakowski · Accepted solution]

The verification manual can be found in en-US\Manuals\Verification manuals folder on Robot DVD.

Surface elements – 3 node triangles (T3) and 4 node quadrilaterals (Q4)

•  Bending state – elements DKMT / DKMQ (Discrete Kirchoff – Mindlin Triangle / Quadrilateral) [2][3]

•  Membrane state – elements T3w and Q4w with corrected approximation of membrane state with respect to “drilling rotation” [1]

[1] - IBRAHIMBEGOVIC A., WILSON E.L.,

         A unified  formulation for triangular and quadrilateral flat shell finite elements  with six nodal degrees of freedom . Communications in Applied Numerical Methods.Vol  7, 1-9(1991)

[2] - KATILI I.,

        A new discrete Kirchoff - Mindlin element based on Mindlin - Reissner

        plate theory and   assumed shear strain fields -Part I: An extended DKT element for thick -plate bending   analysis. International Journal For Numerical Methods  In Engineering  , Vol 36, 1859-1883        (1993)

[3] - KATILI I.,

        A new discrete Kirchoff - Mindlin element based on Mindlin -Reissner

        plate theory and   assumed shear strain fields -Part II: An extended DKQ element for thick -plate bending  analysis. International Journal For Numerical Methods  In Engineering, Vol 36, 1885-1908 (1993)

What type of shell element is used in Autocad Robot Structural Analysis Professional
2013 calculations? Is it maybe the Discrete Kirchoff – Mindlin Quadrilateral
finite shell element??

I cannot find verification manual in Robot 2014 folders...

I cannot find verification manual in Robot 2014 folders too.

Can somebody give me a link to download the manual???

Thanks Romanich!

I naively thought that Autodesk will publish new manuals for new 2014 version.  😞

I just stumbled upon this post. Until 2013, the verification manuals were put on the DVD. They have since been removed due to space.

The Verification Manuals can now be found on the autodesk.com website under Support and Learning.

Here is a direct link:

I hope this helps.
