If you are reading this article is very likely that you have already some experience with Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, or know it to some extend.

This software features indeed a powerful set of tools for the designing and analysis of both Steel and RC structures. Furthermore, it provides automatic generation and verification of connections between steel members, based upon the applied forces and governing design code.

Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional through computer-based structural analysis and emulation can be useful for the evaluation of existing structures damaged by earthquakes.

The repair of a building damaged by an earthquake starts from a correct analysis of the damage. The only visual evaluation of an expert is not enough, since the structure must be understood as a structural assembly that must withstand the seismic accelerations of the next event as indicated by the regulations and the current code. It is in these cases when structural analysis and design programs such as Robot SAP allow to pose the original structure and submit to the accelerations of the earthquake that damaged the structures to analyze their behavior and detect hidden faults. Analyzing an existing...

Perhaps for many of you already familiar with Structural Analysis software, this question makes no much sense whatsoever. Nonetheless, and believe it or not, this a very common question among those fellow engineers how are not sure about moving into a computer aided solution for Analysis, Design and Calculation of Structures. Of course, this question has an honest real concern behind it, since if you base your design in the analysis results of a faulty program, you could seriously be  putting lives at risk, or your career at the very least... So, and for those who are really looking for...

This has been kind of a common question for some time, even today when Advance Steel is considered to be as known of an application as Revit itself, there's still several who are uncertain about Advance Steel role in the world of structural design, since Revit Structure is actually regarded as quite a complete solution already. Perhaps for those already proficient in Revit Structure there's really not much of an argument, as they can probably move around the tools for getting whatever suit their needs. But for those relatively new to these 2 applications or even intermediate users, the scene...
