Wind load simulation
Another feature that Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2019 offers is the ability to test wind loads during design. You can use the built-in wind generator to create wind loads based on various standards and parameters, such as wind speed, direction, terrain category, exposure coefficient, and gust factor. You can also apply wind loads to different parts of the structure, such as roofs, walls, openings, and cladding. You can then visualize the wind pressure distribution and the resulting forces and moments on the structure. This helps you to optimize your design for wind resistance and ensure safety and stability.
Extensive analysis capabilities
Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2019 also provides you with a range of analysis capabilities to test the behavior of your structure under different scenarios. You can perform static, modal, and nonlinear analysis, as well as buckling, seismic, dynamic, and thermal analysis. You can also use advanced solvers and algorithms to handle complex problems, such as large displacements, plasticity, contact, and cracking. You can then view the results in various formats, such as diagrams, tables, reports, and animations. You can also customize the output to suit your needs and preferences.
Finite element auto-meshing
To perform accurate and reliable analysis, you need a high-quality finite element mesh that represents your structure. Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2019 can help you with that by automatically creating a mesh based on your model geometry and properties. You can also control the mesh density and refinement using various parameters, such as element size, aspect ratio, curvature sensitivity, and mesh quality criteria. You can also edit the mesh manually if needed. You can then check the mesh quality using different indicators, such as skewness, warping, Jacobian ratio, and aspect ratio.
Country-specific design standards
Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2019 also supports country-specific design standards for different regions and materials. You can choose from a list of codes for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and composite structures. You can also use local section shapes and units for your design. You can then perform code-checking for your structure using various criteria, such as strength, stability, serviceability, fire resistance, fatigue resistance, and seismic resistance. You can also generate detailed design reports that include all the calculations and references.
Open and flexible API
If you want to extend the functionality of Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2019 or customize it to your specific needs, you can use the open and flexible API that it provides. You can use various programming languages, such as C#, VB.NET, C++, or Python to create custom scripts or applications that interact with Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2019. You can also use the API to create parametric structures, directly extract results, or integrate with other software or databases.
