Known limitations for Robot Structural Analysis

For now, the link works for a wide variety of connections/joints. However, please take into account the unsupported functionality.


Limitation: Moving (stepped) Load Case is not imported to Checkbot. Load combinations containing a Moving (stepped) Load Case are imported, but Moving (stepped) Load Cases and their internal forces are not included.

Workaround: Explode the Moving (stepped) Load Case into single load cases in Robot Structural Analysis using the "Create a case from component" command. Then, import the connection or member, and these load cases will be imported separately as well as included in the defined load combinations.

Limitation: Using different offsets at the start and end in Robot will cause the final geometry of the features affected by these offsets to be different in Robot and Checkbot. The reason is the different approach of applying these eccentricities in each of these software. 

Workaround:  Adjust the geometry using the Start and End Eccentricity items in Checkbot to achieve the desired geometry.
