It would be good and complete for punching verification is to calculate the Slab or Raft punching above walls or under walls . Show More

Just as RSA is interoperable with REVIT and AdvanceSteel, the use of IFC in both import and export improves the possibility of massive user use of structural engineering.   Although it appears in the opening options it does not work for several versions.      RSA's newest functionality, Load Takedown Building Design, would make much more sense, important IFC and not just native Revit and AdvanceSteel.   More and more the BIM concept is introduced in the structural environment and a software as powerful as RSA can not be outdated Show More

Please put back the EXPERT add on for the English package with the Retaining wall design, piles and pile cap design. this was very usefull. I don't know french so it is hard to install the french version and deal with it. Thanks Show More

The first idea, add "Reinforcement calculator" to "Tool> below "Calculator"   The second idea, add "Reinforcement calculator" to "Slab - required reinforcement" tab "Scale". As result in the right bottom corner of the screen, we will see not only sm2/m as it works now but also the description.  For example, now we see 7.92                                        17.97                                        24.25 (sm2/m) After  this idea will be implemented we will see the result with descriptions                                           7*d 12 = 7.92                7*d 12 + 5* d 16 = 17.97  7*d 12 + 5*d 16 + 8*d 10 = 24.25    http://help.autodesk.com/view/RSAPRO/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-F07C9C5F-075C-4FB0-89D5-D942A4E641BB Show More

Hi,    Just building on Robot's capability to work with shell/plate elements, I think it would be very useful if Robot's results display capability is expanded to display shell/plate stresses distributed through the thickness of shell/plate element when displaying the shell/plate thickness. Allow me to elaborate.    Currently, to see any stress results in shell/plate elements in Robot, we are required to 'PICK' which layer of stress in the thickness of the shell/plate we would like to see (see image below). We can also only see one 'Stress Layer' of results at one given time.    If this results display options could be expanded, so to see the actual thickness of the shell/plate with its actual stress distribution shown throughout thickness (see image below), would be very useful to see the overall stress distribution along shell/plate elements and overall structure.  ANSYS Shell/Plate Model The model above is an ANSYS model. All elements are shell/plate elements with Identical properties to the Robot model shown in previous image.  As it can be observed from the image above and the image below, ANSYS lets you display the stress results in the shell/plate elements through the thickness of it.    A similar functionality in Robot would be very useful.      Picture below, is the same picture as above, but showing the plate elements without thickness and only one 'layer' of stress (similar to Robot's current functionality).   Please let me know if I'm not clear on what my idea is or if you would like me to expand any further on any point mentioned above.    Cheers!

Hi, It would be nice and very advanced tools if there is possibility to add rigid link in specific  direction not parallel with global axis. Show More

Once we are in a new window e.g. with  Panels-all selected + Edit new window displays only panels from the file.   I find very useful if it be possible to select only between the displayed elements by clicking on the "structural axis"   Actually if an axis is selected, (in the New Window) all the elements and nodes (from the file belonging to this axis) are selected regardless if those are "absent" or not. If the selection is only of the displayed elements, those elements can be handled easily.   Additionally: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Robot-Structural/WishList-Selection/m-p/3622134#M7556   Show More

I opened "Detailed Analysis- Maps on bar" then I pressed "Structure deformation" to show maps on bars deformation and found that there no maps of deformations at all. First, please provide opportunity to show maps on bars deformatin. Second, it would be nice to see the legends of deformation by color with the descreptions on the right bottom coner of the screen. Third, to show the deformation maps on bars in X, Y, Z derection separatly. Thank you. Translated for russian speakers: В закладке карты деформаций на стержнях, карт нет. Есть только деформированная схема. Первое: хотелось бы видеть цвета на стержнях. Второе: значения деформаций в правом нижнем углу по аналогии с Lira или SCAD. Третье: показывать деформации в X Y Z направлении отдельно. В данный момент это векторные перемещения. Перемещения по направлениям можно найти только в свойствах узла. Прошу проголосовать за эту идею, спасибо.     Show More

I recommend changing the user interface of the program to be like any other Autodesk program, just replace these many toolbars with ribbons like AutoCAD. That will make it easier for students and new users to learn the program. Show More

Convert the reactions to forces.   First explanation. The purpose is that one structure would work completely independent from another structure. For example I have the wood roof on the steel truss. In case the roof wood elements would be destroyed the truss will carry the loads from the roof. In one model the steel truss share the forces with wood element. That is why the idea is to apply to the steel truss reactions of the roof as forces.   Additional explanation. I need to replace the structure with forces. If I add the structure, this structure will carry (share) the forces. I do not need it. I need to see the impact of forces only. Without the wood beams the steel truss will get higher displacement and in the elements of the steel truss will be higher Fx forces in the steel elements of the truss.   Conclusion. I can apply the reactions as node loads. I did so and it works perfectly, but it takes time. I thought that there would be kinds of solution to do it faster and easier. Thank you.     Show More

Hello,   If have been noticed that other 3D engineeringsoftware (SCIA engineer, AxsisVM, RFEM, etc.) have a model viewer. So other engineers can see the calculated results, like moments, reactions, displacement ect. This is very useful for presentation to other party's. It is not always possible to get a good presentation of the results in a picture or screenshot.    Maybe a model viewer voor RSA models is something for the future. I sure hope so!   Show More
