1-Structural analysis
1.1 - Gravity Analysis with Load Takedown method
Analysis solvers are essential enablers for the overall Analysis & Design process. Robot Structural Analysis Professional has been renowned for its versatility and performance for meshing and analysis

Determine reactions on foundations in very early design stages when the upper part of a building is yet being worked on, design-wise.
Understand building behavior to determine best columns layouts distribution.
Get loads transferred to individual objects so that object-based code design be possible with use of engineers’ traditional and handy design code tools or even spreadsheets.

In the area of productivity enhancements for Robot Structural Analysis 2023 we are capturing and responding to users’ feedback related to overall productivity and ease of use for Robot:

Automatic Groups Creation from DWG/DXF Layers
When you import DXF or DWG files with elements assigned to layers then groups are created in Robot Structural Analysis model for each layer and members are automatically assign to groups based on layer assignment.

Loads on Cladding Quality Enhancements
Improved load distribution from cladding to members and walls. It is more reliable and stable.
Improved distribution of linear loads on edges applied to multiple panel and cladding types using a single record

Ability to Display Displacement Individually for XYZ Directions
To help users better understand and measure displacement impact in the context of a given coordinate system’s axes, we enabled assessment of structural behavior in terms of displacements in separate directions or the total value.

You can display displacement values in a selected global direction X, Y, Z, or the total value U. Go to the Parameters tab, turn on Diagram Description in the form of labels or text and choose Nodal displacement direction to be displayed.

Usability improvements for Results exploration and diagrams/maps display in the areas of:
You can set the color for results presentation in the form of crosses directly from the Results Map dialog box, so there is no need to look for it in display Preferences when you want to change the color for displayed crosses.
Enhanced results map legend with the top or bottom envelope information when maps are displayed for the selection of multiple load cases. Having it labelled on a screenshot will allow you to more easily verify that you are looking at the right results when checking and preventing mistakes.

Robot – Revit Interoperability
As Revit can be now central to physical and analytical model coordination and its analytical model geometry can be accurate and fully versatile, the nature of the Revit-Robot interoperability is adjusting.
