Best resources to learn Robot from scratch for building design and modeling?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I want to learn and hopefully by time master the use of Robot for structural design of buildings in steel and concrete. Typically, multi-story buildings. Since I'm mostly on my own for now, I'd love to get my hands on some resources to help facilitate that process.

I found this video already which is excellent. It seems like there are many other useful videos available on the Autodesk sites as well, so I will certainly be using these.

But are there any other resources that could be of help? Any good books or courses available? I did find some videos published by another company, but they were very expensive and I'm not sure if they're any good either.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Johannes

Hi,

Thanks for those resources. Much obliged.

Do you or anyone else know if that book is worth getting or is the online resources sufficient and even preferrable? I tried obtaining it at my local library, but it was unavailable and will be for some time, so I might have to buy it instead. 

Best regards.

Hi, all,

I went through the entire tutorial here yesterday: 

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/robot-structural-analysis-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHe...

It was really good.

I will move on to the next one, "Building Design" and "Model a 3D frame" today.

There's also the quick start manual I found which seems really good.

Question: Is the book by Marsh still recommended or will it be superfluous considering this other online resources?

Thanks in advance!
