Tutorial to create moving loads using Robot API

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone!

I'm developing an Excel Robot API to generate the geometry and the load cases for an steel structure for an monorail.

I'm having some hard time in order to create the moving load case. I don't know where to start. I create the geometry, supports, bar sections and the self-weight load.

Does anyone have a tutorial that explains how to create moving loads using Robot API for VB?

Here is my code for the load generation:

'Rotina para criar carregamentos
Public Sub CriarCarregamentos()

'Criando os carregamentos devido ao peso proprio da estrutura
Dim PesoProprio As RobotSimpleCase
Set PesoProprio = RobotApp.Project.Structure.Cases.CreateSimple(1, "Peso Proprio", I_CN_PERMANENT, I_CAT_STATIC_LINEAR)
PesoProprio.Records.New I_LRT_DEAD
Dim ValorPesoProprio As RobotLoadRecord
Set ValorPesoProprio = PesoProprio.Records.Get(1)
ValorPesoProprio.SetValue I_DRV_Z, -1
ValorPesoProprio.SetValue I_DRV_ENTIRE_STRUCTURE, True

'Criando o carregamento móvel
Dim CargaMovel As RobotMobileCase
Set CargaMovel = RobotApp.Project.Structure.Cases.CreateMobile(2, "Talha Eletrica", I_CN_ACCIDENTAL)
'Definindo o tipo de veiculo
Dim TipoCargaMovel As RobotVehicleData




'Liberando as variaveis
Set PesoProprio = Nothing
Set ValorPesoProprio = Nothing

End Sub

And an image for my model:

My best regards!
