Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

Steel Frame Rigid Connection CAD-to-FEM Workflow

This project presents Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional screenshots for steel-frame modelling, bracing definition, connection inspection and FEM result review. It is now grouped correctly under Structural Analysis & FEM Software.

Autodesk Robot steel beam-column connection model

Step 01

Autodesk Robot Frame Model Setup

The steel frame is prepared inside Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis with member connectivity, supports, load combinations and FEM result availability as part of the Structural Analysis & FEM workflow.

Step 02

Bracing Layout and Connection Inspector

The braced steel frame is reviewed using Robot’s connection inspector tools. Member-to-member and beam-to-column connections are checked so the rigid connection behaviour and detailing assumptions remain consistent with the global model.

Step 03

Bending Moment and FEM Result Review

FEM results are reviewed under ultimate limit-state combinations. The bending moment diagrams and colour-coded result views help identify critical members, force paths and regions that need connection verification.

Step 04

Column Splice and Member Checks

Detailed connection checks are performed on column splice and beam-column regions. This final review connects the 3D frame model, connection definition and FEM output into a complete Autodesk structural-analysis workflow.

LUSAS Structural Analysis

Flood-Resilient Modular Building Wind & Flood Assessment

This project presents a flood-safe modular building system analysed in LUSAS. The workflow uses a structural frame model prepared from CAD geometry, then checks self-weight, wind load, flood load, support reactions, deflection and overall stability through a sequence of LUSAS finite-element studies.

Step 01

LUSAS Model Creation from CAD Geometry

The flood-safe house frame is modelled in LUSAS after preparing the geometry through compatible CAD input. Nodes, elements, materials, sections and supports are defined so the modular steel-frame behaviour can be checked under service and hazard load cases inside the LUSAS analysis environment.

Step 02

Wind, Flood and Reaction Checks

The LUSAS model is assessed using wind and flood loading, with reactions checked at the support jacks and deflection used as a serviceability indicator. The result views show frame response, load paths and critical areas for the flood-resilient house system.

Step 03

Performance at Multiple Lifting Heights

The house is checked at several lifting heights, including 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 1.5 m. This allows the structural response of the jack-supported modular building to be compared as the flood-protection system raises the building above water level within the LUSAS finite-element workflow.

Step 04

Support Optimisation and Stability Decision

The design is optimised by reviewing the jack-supported frame after modifying the support arrangement. The LUSAS results indicate that the structure remains stable at lower lifting heights, while the highest lift case becomes critical and guides the final design limitation.
