Presentation
Robot Structural Analysis is powerful, versatile structural analysis software widely used in construction and civil engineering. It enables the modelling, analysis and design of complex structures, from simple beams to major civil engineering works. Its extensive features provide engineers and technicians with a comprehensive solution to verify structural safety and performance.
This 3-day course develops mastery of Robot Structural Analysis’s main features through practical work. You will learn to create accurate 3D models, perform static and dynamic analyses, design structural members and generate construction drawings. Dedicated modules introduce nonlinear analysis, structural optimisation and interoperability with other CAD software.
By the end of the course, you will be able to deliver structural analysis projects, improving productivity and deliverable quality. You will also be able to make informed structural design and sizing decisions and meet increasingly demanding standards and regulations.
Objectives
By the end of this Robot Structural Analysis course, you will be able to:
- master essential features to accurately model structures of varying complexity;
- perform rigorous static and nonlinear structural analyses to assess behaviour under different loading conditions;
- design structural members such as columns and beams while optimising materials and sections;
- interpret calculation results to validate the design and identify critical areas;
- integrate Robot Structural Analysis into an overall design process alongside other software, where applicable;
- optimise productivity using effective modelling methods and calculation tools.
