In a landscape where precision and efficiency in structural analysis have become essential, our course Basic Structural Analysis with Autodesk Robot v2020 It stands out as an essential training programme. Aimed at those wishing to master the fundamentals of the software, this course covers everything from initial setup to preferences for projects and the application of structural regulations, right through to the geometric definition using basic operations and advanced visualisation with Viewcube and attribute views. We provide a grounding in structural modelling and analysis through practical examples, ensuring an understanding of materials, cross-sections, the assignment of boundary conditions and the configuration of load cases. Specialised analyses such as static, linear and non-linear p-delta calculations, together with global buckling, round off this essential module. By immersing yourself in this online training course, you will acquire basic skills in a leading tool in the market, opening the door to new opportunities.
