Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis Professional software provides structural engineers with advanced building simulation and analysis capabilities for large and complex structures. The structural analysis software offers a smoother workflow and interoperability with Autodesk® Revit® Structure software to extend the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process, enabling engineers to more quickly perform comprehensive simulation and analysis of a variety of structures.
Features include
|
Bidirectional Links with Revit Structure
Bidirectional linking with Autodesk® Revit® Structure software enables accurate structural analysis and design results to be updated throughout the model, thanks to coordinated construction documentation provided with Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Powerful Workflows for Structural Analysis and Documentation
Create structural models and perform structural analysis within Robot Structural Analysis Professional, and seamlessly transfer the model and results to AutoCAD® Structural Detailing software to generate fabrication drawings. Within this ecosystem of structural engineering software, structural engineers can take advantage of an integrated workflow from design through analysis to fabrication.

|
Advanced Auto-Meshing & Modeling Capabilities
Powerful auto meshing generation techniques enable structural engineers to effortlessly work with even the most complex models. You can independently manipulate native automatic mesh generation and manual definition of meshing parameters for each panel. This functionality provides the ability to create a high-quality finite element mesh.

Localized for Global Markets
Robot Structural Analysis Professional supports multinational design teams using many languages, including English, French, Romanian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Chinese, and Japanese. You can perform structural analysis in one language and output in another, and you can use imperial and metric units in combination within the same structural model.
|
|
Support for Materials and Design Codes
Robot Structural Analysis Professional includes more than 60 sections and materials databases from around the world. With an array of 70 built-in design codes, structural engineers can work with country-specific section shapes, imperial or metric units, and country-specific building codes within the same integrated model.
|
|
Integrated Design Solution for Reinforced Concrete and Steel
Robot Structural Analysis Professional contains integrated reinforced concrete design and steel design modules based on more than 40 international steel codes and 30 reinforced concrete codes, simplifying the design process and assisting with the selection and verification of structural elements.
|
|
Open and Flexible API
Robot Structural Analysis Professional uses Microsoft COM (Component Object Model) technologies, enabling an open and flexible API (application programming interface).
|
|
Structural Loads and Load Combinations
Depending on the load duration and type, you can create defined loads of different natures, such as dead, live, wind, or seismic. Then, you can apply various types of loads (such as nodal, linear, or planar) to a structure to the defined load cases. Manual and automatic definitions of load combinations according to many national standards are available.
