Encountering problems with footfall analysis

[Anonymous]

I have recently exported a simple structure from Revit onto Robot in order to run footfall analysis on the buildings slabs. My university is currently in the process of updating the service package to rectify the youngs modulus and poissons ration erros. However, i need to know how to delete the releases for the columns and beams so as to rid the instability erros, but there are other errors that are aoppearing (please see attached image).

I would also like to know how i can export individual floors from my Revit structure, so as to input different walking frequencies for each, and running analysis on them seperately.

Any information on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

to delete releases inside robot  goto menu Geometry/releases , choose "delete" , select the bars you do not want to have releases and click apply.

To export only part of Revit model , On Revit ,select what you want to export to Robot and on "send options" mark "send only current selection"

Hi Rafacascudo

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I have done everything I can think of to get rid of my error when running my analysis and I still cant get rid of the "incorrect value for young's modulus" error. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Daniele

Maybe some weird material imported from Revit.
Check the assigned bars and panel materials , edit or replace them with native Robot equivalent materials.
