Robots structural analysis complete course

Learn Robot Structural Analysis through a full RC building project, from DXF import and loads to analysis, reinforcement, and reports, for beginners.

<h2>About this course</h2>In this course, you learn Robot Structural Analysis by taking a reinforced concrete building project from setup to reinforcement drawings and reports. After the interface, navigation, and customization, you review the project scope and set job preferences for units, materials, design code, and structural analysis. You bring the architectural plan from AutoCAD as a DXF file and define structural axes, including the foundation level. Modeling is a major block: you define nodes and RC member geometry, then place and copy columns, beams, walls, floors, hollow and homogeneous slabs, openings, and core or shear walls across stories, and model a stairwell with raiser slabs. Next, you add supports, load cases, dead and live loads, manual and automatic load combinations, and seismic and wind loads to standards. A full section covers verification, FE meshing, and resolving static seismic, instability, and incoherent mesh warnings. Results take up four sections: member diagrams for NTM, deformations, stresses, and reactions, maps on members and panels, panel cuts and tables, and detailed and global analysis. Reinforcement is the largest part of the course. You set calculation parameters to Eurocode, then calculate required and provided reinforcement for beams, columns, foundations, walls, and slabs, producing reinforcement drawings and layouts. Finally, you build print compositions with standard reports and screen captures. Each section ends with a quiz.<h2>Who should take this course</h2>This course is for you if you want to learn structural analysis and design in Robot Structural Analysis through a complete building project. It suits civil and structural engineering students, graduate engineers, and structural designers who analyze and reinforce concrete buildings. It also fits engineers moving from hand calculations or other analysis software who want a structured workflow from AutoCAD plans through loading, results interpretation, and Eurocode reinforced concrete design.<h2>Pre-requisites</h2>The course starts from the beginning and requires no prior Robot Structural Analysis experience. You need Robot Structural Analysis and AutoCAD to follow along, and a basic understanding of reinforced concrete design will help you get more from the reinforcement sections.
