(1) Seamless Integration with Revit: Developed independently by Autodesk, this structural calculation and analysis software integrates smoothly with the core modeling tools of the Revit series. This integration avoids common issues encountered when using third-party analysis software, such as inconsistent member section definitions and incomplete matching of material properties. Thanks to the bidirectional data link between the two programs, structural engineers can easily make adjustments throughout the design process, saving significant time by eliminating the need to repeatedly modify or convert models.
(2) Automatic Finite Element Mesh Generation: Robot offers robust meshing capabilities, enabling users to manually adjust and refine the mesh using various partitioning tools. Engineers can add divergence points and create meshes around openings of different shapes and sizes. This powerful feature streamlines the process of generating finite element meshes, enhancing efficiency in structural analysis.
(3) Advanced Analytical Capabilities: Robot delivers comprehensive structural analysis options, allowing engineers to explore alternative designs and examine both linear and nonlinear behaviors of structures. Beyond standard linear statically indeterminate analysis, it supports nonlinear methods such as second-order gravity effect analysis, plastic hinge modeling, cable element evaluation, unidirectional tension/compression bar analysis, and constraint checks. Moreover, the software includes a market-leading fast dynamic solver, enabling dynamic analyses of structures of any scale, including response spectrum, harmonic response, and time history analyses.
(4) Support for Multiple International Standards: Robot incorporates codes and standards from over 40 countries and supports multilingual functionality. It facilitates design workflows and generates calculation result files, reinforcement drawings, and reinforcement schedules in various languages. Users can also create custom output templates tailored to specific national standards. The software’s extensive output, printing, and reporting capabilities allow user-defined layouts to save tables and model views. When models are updated, saved results and visualizations refresh automatically. Outputs can be printed directly or exported in Microsoft Word or HTML formats for further use.
