Robots structural analysis essentials course

Learn Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis from scratch, from modeling RC members and loads to reinforcement and Revit integration, for complete beginners.

<h2>About this course</h2>In this course, you learn Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis step by step, moving from the software's basics to a fully analyzed and reinforced concrete model. You begin with a software overview, system requirements, and the user interface, then set up a project, import DWG and DXF files, and model axes. Next, you define structural member sections and place RC columns, beams, and floors.You then define loads, covering load types, dead and live loads, and load combinations.The staircase design section is one of the largest: you define the staircase axis, place RC floors, beams, and columns for the stairs, troubleshoot axes, run your first analysis check, and resolve incoherent mesh warnings. After analysis, you interpret results using member diagrams and maps and troubleshoot problems they reveal. You also define seismic and wind loads. Reinforcement is equally substantial: you prepare the model and provide reinforcement for RC beams, columns, other RC elements, and foundations, with a final troubleshooting pass. You then prepare and preview printout compositions for project documentation. The course closes by integrating Robot Structural Analysis with Revit, creating a Revit project and bringing your RSA model into it. Each section after the introduction ends with a quiz.<h2>Who should take this course</h2>This course is for you if you are a complete beginner to Robot Structural Analysis and want to learn it right from scratch. It suits civil and structural engineering students, graduate engineers, and structural designers who need to model, load, and analyze reinforced concrete buildings. It also fits Revit users and BIM professionals who want to understand how an analytical model moves between Robot Structural Analysis and Revit in a connected workflow.<h2>Pre-requisites</h2>The course starts from the beginning and requires no prior Robot Structural Analysis experience. Robot Structural Analysis 2017 or a later version on a Windows computer is recommended, and you will need Revit for the integration section.
