Hi,   Currently the design output of Beam results does not show the required transversal reinforcement area. It only shows the design info which is mainly defined by the user before the calculation. It expects user to set the bar diameter and number of legs on the calculation parameters menu. However, most of the time user can’t know the number of legs and the bar diameter beforehand. Now the resulting table shows Provided Transversal Reinforcement not the Required value.   It would be great to see an additional column on the Results Table which shows the required trans. reinf. area / spacing (cm2/cm). It would be also great to get these values (num.legs, str.diameter, req. ttrans. reinf.) directly from the API in the name of efficiency. (not by dumping the table to excel) Show More

I hope future RSAP can harness GPU processing power thru OpenCL Solvers. It will accelerate greatly computational performance Show More

ENVELOPE OF FORCES IN JOINTS AND SUPPORTS, ONLY MAX EN MIN OF ALL COMBINATIONS It is important for some design activities. Robot 2014 shows envelope for combination but doesn't show a table or list of Max and min of all combinations.   INTERACTION DIAGRAMS OF WALLS It would be very grateful if were possible to show interaction diagrams for walls and to configure the reinforcement.   INTERACTION DIAGRAMS OF WALLS It would be very grateful if were possible to configure an arbitrary reinforcement.   Thanks Show More

Le calcul des actions, dans cette nouvelle version 2014, n'est toujours pas abouti. Il manque: - la prise en compte du Cdir par secteurs angulaires. - la prise en compte de plusieurs catégories de terrain selon l'orientation du vent par rapport au faces du bâtiment. et bien d'autres choses qui pourraient permettre une meilleure optimisation des calculs (exemple en pièce jointe)   Vous pouvez me contacter si vous avez besoin d'aide car j'ai déjà développé quelques outils permettant de le faire.   PERRIN Stéphane perrin.etudes@gmail.com beoptimax.com   Cordialement.     Show More

It would be helpful and really useful for research purposes to be able to export mass and stiffness matrices of the FEM. Show More

 no matrix inversion, no matrices multiplication: calculate all frecuencies in structural dynamics 10'000,000 of equations or more in ram memory, efficient algorithm on format banded or format skyline. It´s a 30 years of search in simultaneous equations. I have how demonstrate this big new idea. No more Lanczos, no more subspace iteration, no more jacobi: they use square matrices and matrix multiplication on square matrices.   I hope that you accept this geat idea: SAP2000, ETAPS, MIDAS they don´t have this capacity algotithm.

hello i am trying to model a hipperbolic parabolid shell, but when i want to generate de Finite Element mesh, the resulting mesh is umgorganized and also have the following error   cohesion of the calculation model has beeb provided by definition of the kinematic constrains in incoherent points of the finite element mesh   this is how the mesh is generated   this is the structure     the mesh generated is the mesh made by default, without options  modificacions Show More

Greetings from Bolivia. I need  your help please @Rafal.Gaweda. I have a structure of 3 levels and a space frame roof of 100x60 meters. I've got a student license recently. The model has no errors, in spite of this, the program crushes without any message or feedback after 10 minutes while it´s in the process of calculation.  Show More

- Simulation of Piles Foundation ( assume pile as column and simulate profile of soil and the software change the soil profile to frictional stiffness and end bearing stiffness). - Increase and Decrease axial stiffness in members (e.g. Beam, Column, etc.). - Improve Wind Load Simulator (e.g. meshing size, wind profile, etc.) and visualize meshing  and air streams lines in wind simulator)  - add more shell elements ( Dome, circular stairs, etc.).   Show More

-Changing or adding for nodal / linear supports : the size, stiffness, weight (directly). Or better new object for linear. -Upgrading the graphical results display for supports : cartography (in addition to diagram) or possibility to indicate points to be displayed, min/max values. Still a mess at the time ! -adding Kx and Ky (soil reactions) in map when support is defined in panel thickness + reduced results at rigidity centre of the selected panels, or to a user defined point. -adding cartography for surface supports (nodal values : impossible to display all these values !), with also reduced results aforementioned Show More

If Robot had a Direct Integration (The Simplest and Slowest) Solver it would become the go to for Non-Linear Time History.  Non-Lin Time History Analysis requires Direct Integreation since none of the other solvers are unconditionally stable.  Imagine running a 6 hour analysis only to find that the solver is computationally unstable "it has happened."  I say it would be the go to because the ability to analyze on the cloud is huge for this application.  A typical ASCE 41 Analysis requires a minimum of six analysis runs at around 4-12 hours apice depending on the TH and model.  The current standard is Perform3d which would take up to Six Days per iteration to run the model.  If this could be cut to 1day by pushing it to the cloud that would be amazing!!

Robot structural analysis is getting more adopted in structural analysis of buildings all around Australia. Timber is very popular material, I wonder when Australian standards will be included in designing of timber structure using Robot software. Show More
