Material Properties (API)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is there any way to get tabulated data for all of the materials in the Robot database?  I searched in the program files / Robot 2013 but can't find it easily.  

Thanks,

Tony

Only as additional columns in Bars, Panels ro Quantity Survey tables

[Rafal.Gaweda]

Or something for you 🙂 -> small API in Excell geting materials \ material data in the way you want.

hahah ok thanks 🙂

So, without API, if a colleague wants to print a list of material properties for example - all concrete types - then he would have to draw many bars, then assign each one a material?  Then use the table you describe?

not a atext file somewhere here:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2013

Example attached (materials used in model)

not a atext file somewhere here:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2013

XML file = kind of text file, material databases names  : rmat*.xml

"c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Structural\Common Data\2013\Data\Mate" 

--------------------------------

user section databases, material databases, etc.

Win 7 32- or 64-bit RSAPro:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Structural\Common Data\2013\

API, API, API...

Gift for You attached - whole database to Excel.

If you want only concrete materials  :

replace

Set RNA = RobApp.Project.Preferences.Materials.GetAll

by

Set RNA = RobApp.Project.Preferences.Materials.Get(I_MT_CONCRETE)

Rafal,

You are THE man.

dear all pro

i want to add one material to materials database

pl see image below for more detai

 

THANK ALL

Thank pro 

But I want to add one more country to material database

can you help me?

Thank so much

[dimogrec]

Fisrtly select Materials->"country database from which you want to copy material"->modification, then copy the values of material properties (into a paper or doc)

Then open your country database (the one you want to add the material) -> modification, select the type of material (concrete,steel..ecc) and then write a new name for your material, paste the values of material properties and then click add and ok

I don't know a faster way to do this

[Rafal.Gaweda]

I think he wants to create completely new material database and attach it to Robot.

YES , THANK PRO SO MUCH. 

It's just what I had in mind

You are very pro RSAP.

hi. @Rafal.Gaweda @Anonymous 

Hi. I also have the same theme. I have added the definition of B22.5, Resistance: 13 MPa.

But when designing the Material properties there is Rb = 11.5 MPa. Can you help me. Thank you!

hi. @Artur.Kosakowski

I think in this case, RSA is wrong, is not it?

[Artur.Kosakowski]

Hi @ledinhchinh0409

The Russian SINP code is a specific one as instead of providing formulas to describe the relationship between E and resistance it uses the tabulated values instead and gives no indication what to do when the concrete grade is not the one explicitly stated in the code itself. This is the reason adding new (different than specified in) concrete grades for SNIP may result in having unexpected results as program tries to interpolate among the values given in these tables.

hi. @Artur.Kosakowski

Thanks you verymuch. 

So the definition of caculation options is not acceptable?
