Section Modulus/Second Moment Area of Wall

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to calculate the section modulus or second moment area of walls in robot? I've tried grouping them into 'core walls' and checking the results tables for core walls and storeys but can't find the correct information.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous

You may want to consider defining the sections of the corresponding shapes in the Section Builder module of Robot and then calculate their properties to determine the values you are looking for.

Hi 

I was hoping that wasn't the answer. It takes a while to model a large core in the section editor and then to change the thicknesses of walls if the value returned is too small.

Thanks
