Division of areas is a vital on-going option for modelling that make deleting/changing sections more easy.    Division of beams may be by the following options: 1- Divide on beams. 2- Divide on lines. 3- Divide by rectangles or squares  3- Divide by connected joints such as columns.   Show More

Today, RSA can extrude line to area and area to solid but, can't extrude node or joint to a line !    Developing this option is very beneficial for drawing ring or circular beams and line. Show More

Hi,   I think that visualisation is very important for examining the different modes of vibration of the modal analysis therefore there are various improvement's that i would like to see in the modal analysis results.   1) First off all i would like to see a dedicated tab to the modal analysis which shall include the already existing play, pause buttons etc. but also include arrow buttons to choose the mode number and also display information such as frequency, period and mass participation.    2) secondly i would like to see a continues flow of the animation of the mode of vibration when you choose to play the animation, currently the animation goes through a complete cycle, then stops and starts again from the initial possition.    3) Thirdly it would be great if we could run the animation of a mode shape with 3D visualisation of the components of the structure. this greatly helps to visualise individual component behaviour. What i mean is that i would like to see the mode shape through the actual structure and not only the wire frame. Show More

Sur les schémas d'assemblage, il manque l'indication du type de boulons (1). Il serait également intéressant de pouvoir insérer le nom de l'assemblage lors de l'édition du schéma (2). Show More

Hi, so I have been modelling concrete buildings for a while and I think the following options will make ROBOT much more effecient in the building Module:   when filtering some Core walls in a new windows, results of the selected walls ONLY should be shown on that windows and not all the other wall results and that way there is no need to reduce the limit of the section planes every time i need to show the output of the wall. also that is more effecient with angled walls that don't line with the section planes view cuts. When filtering any object in a new screen, then other objects that have not been selected should be frozen, meaning there is no way that they can be selected until the window that shows them is activated. that way the user garantee that all operations are done only on the selected items shown in the activated windows. adding option of showing the loads as maps with color for easier presentation and checks. the ability to show elevation views on all definined grid lines including Arbitrary (general) grid lines. Adding automatic wind load generation on the structure as per NBCC and other codes (same as ETABS). adding option to force ROBOT to snap to panel edges and corner while modelling to avoid rounding errors that screw the output especially if there are skewed and angled panels in the model. Adding design parameters attached to the section definition (i.e for a column defined as C450x500, I will be able to define the reinforcement scheme as well so that it is always associated to this section). it is also good to have an option to create a strip design that allows ROBOT to integrate the moment across that strip. this will help determining design moments using codes that uses the design strip methods especially for flat slab design. Thanks Show More

A strap footing is used to connect an eccentrically loaded column footing to an interior column footing. The strap is used to transmit the moment caused from eccentricity to the interior column footing so that a uniform soil pressure is computed beneath both footings.   Simply…I suggest here if can give priority in wish list to add (moment transferred from foundation option) in RC beam design module                        as long as there is reduction option (moment transferred to ground beam) in RC spread footing design nodule or build up individual module for this type of foundation (RC Strap footing design module). It will be very useful in such situations. Thanks to all Refaat   Show More

when opening two or more models at the same time, it is difficult to know which is which!! the name of the model is not shown anywhere. it would be useful (and essential actually) to be able to see what model is open!! thanks. Show More
