From Analysis to Fabrication Drawings
Structural engineers using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional can benefit from the ability to seamlessly transfer select design data to AutoCAD® Structural Detailing software, providing an integrated workflow from analysis through design to final project documentation and structural drawings.






Fast Simulation and Calculations of Complex Structures

Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software is a powerful analysis application with exceptional finite element auto-meshing capabilities that can deliver fast and up-to-date results.



Modeling, Analysis, and Design
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional can analyze a wide range of structures, but it includes an intuitive user interface specifically created for the modeling, analysis, and design of buildings. The building design layout includes floor plane views to easily create columns and generate beam framing layouts. Engineers can use tools to efficiently add, copy, remove, and edit geometry for similar building stories.

Wide Range of Analysis Capabilities


Advanced Auto-Meshing and Modeling
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional is a robust structural analysis software application with powerful mesh generation techniques that enable structural engineers to effortlessly work with even the most complex models. Automatic mesh definition tools allow for manua manipulation of the mesh, refinement, and meshing around openings of any shape and size. The many meshing tools available enable structural engineers to quickly create a high-quality finite element mesh on virtually any shape of structure.
  Analysis Capabilities
While Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis
Professional is a powerful, easy, and efficient tool for general linear static analysis, it also equips structural engineers with the ability to go beyond the traditional analysis capabilities of other software programs. Engineers can explore design alternatives and investigate the linear and true nonlinear behavior of a structure. The software allows the simple and effective analysis of many types of nonlinearity, including P-delta analysis, tension/compression members and supports, cables, and plastic hinges, just to name a few. Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional provides market-leading tools for the dynamic analysis of structures, and high-level fast dynamic solvers ensure that dynamic analysis can be easily carried out for any size of structure.

Analysis Solvers
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional includes state-of-the-art solvers to deliver fast processing of even the largest structural models. These analysis algorithms, based on advanced technology, enable engineers to deliver accurate results fast, helping them to easily optimize and reanalyze structures and explore a variety of structural configurations.




Unmatched Versatility and Region-Free Analysis
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software is a comprehensive global analysis application with an open API, delivering flexibility to analyze and design a broad range of structures.

Reinforced Concrete and Steel Design Solution
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional contains integrated reinforced concrete and steel design modules based on more than 40 international steel codes and 30 reinforced concrete codes, simplifying the design process, and assisting engineers with selecting and verifying structural elements.

International Design Codes
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional includes more than 60 sections and materials databases from around the world, enabling international projects to be completed with ease. With 70 built-in design codes for an array of countries, structural engineers can work with country-specific section shapes, imperial or metric units, and country-specific building codes within the same integrated model.

Multilingual for Global Markets
Compete in the global market with Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional. The software supports multinational design teams by providing many languages, including English, French, Romanian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Chinese, and Japanese. Structural analysis can be performed in one language and output can be generated in another, providing versatility among global teams. Imperial and metric units can be used in combination within the same structural model, providing adaptability to varying environments.
  Extensive Output of Analysis Results
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional provides wide flexibility in obtaining analysis results. Results may be viewed on individual members, parts of the structure, or for the structure as a whole in the forms of diagrams and maps. Tabular results may be easily filtered to show specific data and easily output to spreadsheets for user postprocessing of data.

The printout composition feature provides the ability to save tables and model views in a userdefined layout. Results and maps saved in this layout are automatically refreshed after model changes. Printouts can be made directly from printout composition or can be presented in Microsoft® Word editor HTML format.

Extending Capabilities with
an Open API

The concept of linking applications together to provide a single solution is not new, but few solutions offer the practical approach of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional. This program utilizes component object model (COM) technology as introduced by Microsoft, allowing the solution to be open architecture and openly programmable by any engineer. The open and flexible API offers an extensive list of possibilities, including integrating Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software with external programs, such as Microsoft Excel® software, Microsoft Word, and AutoCAD® software; extracting results from Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional; writing postprocessing software, such as special codified analysis for steel, concrete, timber, and aluminum; and the ability to create parametric structures in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional.
