The comparison of results is still valid for the next versions. All examples have been taken from handbooks that include benchmark tests covering fundamental types of behaviour encountered in structural analysis. Benchmark results (signed as вЂњHandbookвЂќ) are recalled, and compared with results of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional (signed further as вЂњRobotвЂќ). Each example contains the following parts: - title of the problem - specification of the problem - Robot solution to the problem - outputs with calculation results and calculation notes - comparison between Robot results and exact solution - conclusions.

A. Preferences To specify your regional settings in PREFERENCES dialog click Tools/ Preferences. Default PREFERENCES dialog opens e.g.: Select appropriate regional setting (e.g. Belgique) from the selection list B. Job Preferences To specify your job preferences in JOB PREFERENCES dialog click Tools/ Job Preferences. Default JOB PREFERENCES dialog opens, e.g.: You can define a new type of Job Preferences to make it easier in the future. First of all, make selection of documents and parameters appropriate for the project conditions from the list view tabs in JOB PREFERENCES dialog. For example, to choose code, click Design codes tab from the left list view; then select code from Steel/Aluminium structures selection list or press More codes button which opens Configuration of Code List. March 2014 page 4 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium Selection of an appropriate code category (e.g. Steel/Aluminum) from the combo box opens a new suitable list. Set Belgian code as the current code. 2. 1. Press OK. After the job preferences decisions are set, you can save it under a new name (e.g. Belgian codes) by pressing Save Job Preferences icon in the JOB PREFERENCES dialog. March 2014 page 5 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium VERIFICATION EXAMPLE Bending with lateral-torsional buckling analysis for a cantilever I-beam TITLE: Critical moment Mcr for lateral torsional buckling of cantilever I-beam according to Belgian standard. SPECIFICATION: Calculate the values of critical moment Mcr for two I300 cantilever beams with a span of 3,0 m. The material is S235. Applied loads: uniform dead loads of pz = -10,0 kN/m acting on the top of beams. The weight of bars is negligible. The bars are unbraced. Verify: 1. the first bar пѓ without warping at the support end (fully fixed) 2. the second one пѓ with warping at the support end SOLUTION: After having defined and calculated the structure models, go to [Steel/Aluminum Design] tab. Define new types of members in accordance with the structure assumptions in DEFINITIONS dialog. It can be set in Member type combo box list. In this example, the beams (numbered 1 and 2) have to be defined as a cantilever for the purposes of a verification. March 2014 page 6 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium For easier start, the pre-defined type of member (e.g. вЂњbeamвЂќ) may be initially opened. On Members tab, for the selected вЂњBeamвЂќ from Member type combo box, press the Parameters button. It opens MEMBER DEFINITION - PARAMETERS dialog. Type a new name in Member type editable field. Next, change the parameters to meet the initial data requirements of the structure. Set (as needed) the following lateral-buckling parameters: п‚· switch on: the Lateral buckling check box or/and Flexural-torsional buckling check box п‚· define the appropriate Lateral buckling length coefficient for a member by pressing Upper/Lower flange. It opens LATERAL BUCKLING LENGTH COEFFICIENTS dialog. March 2014 page 7 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium If a defined вЂњMember typeвЂќ is indicated as a cantilever the new option is activated in the form of the check box "Cantilever without warping effects". п‚· select the appropriate Load level icon п‚§ define the appropriate load type for a featured member by pressing [MoreвЂ¦] button; March 2014 page 8 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium It opens ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS dialog next, choose the load type by pressing the icon - it opens a new dialog п‚· select Method of calculation п‚· choose Additional sets of member parameters п‚· define bracings for Lateral buckling and Buckling Can be done in two ways in [MEMBER DEFINITION-MEMBER] dialog: 1st way - by pressing Upper/Lower flange button from Lateral buckling frame 2nd way - by pressing either вЂњBuckling length coeff.вЂќ icon from Buckling frame March 2014 page 9 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium The first method opens LATERAL BUCKLING LENGTH COEFFICIENTS dialog: The second one opens BUCKING TYPE DIAGRAMS dialog: For both methods if you click the last icon - Intermediate bracings - the new dialog INTERNAL BRACINGS will appear. In the INTERNAL BRACINGS dialog, there are possibilities to define bracings for buckling and lateral buckling for a currently defined member type independently. In this particular example no bracings were defined. March 2014 page 10 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium Now, save the newly-created member types under new names. In the described example two member types were created: 1. вЂњfixed supportвЂќ пѓ prepared for el.1 without warping at the support end (fully fixed) 2. вЂњwarping endsвЂќ пѓ prepared for el.2 with warping at memberвЂ™s ends. In DEFINITIONS dialog number of a member must be assigned to the appropriate name of Member type. !!! пѓ It is very important when verifying different member types. In DEFINITIONS dialog also any name of member can be entered. March 2014 page 11 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium In the CALCULATIONS dialog set the following: -> Verification options - list of verified members, -> Loads cases - list of chosen loads -> Limit state -> Configuration Before doing calculations you have to remember to specify appropriate parameters for verification in the CONFIGURATION dialog. Access the CONFIGURATION dialog by clicking the [Configuration] button in the CALCULATIONS dialog. March 2014 page 12 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium Now, start the calculations - press the Calculations button in CALCULATIONS dialog. MEMBER VERIFICATION dialog with the most significant messages (Messages tab) and results data (Results tab) will appear on screen. Pressing the line with results for the member 1 opens the RESULTS dialog with detailed results for the analyzed member. The views of the RESULTS dialogs are presented below. Simplified results tab March 2014 page 13 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium Detailed results tab Pressing the [Calc.Note] button in вЂњRESULTS - CodeвЂќ dialog opens the printout note for the analyzed member. You can obtain Simplified results printout or Detailed results printout, depending on from which tab the choice was made. The printout note view of Simplified results is presented below.

March 2014 page 16 / 17 Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional - Verification Manual for EC NAD for Belgium COMPARISON of Critical Moment Mcr [kNm] for lateral-torsional buckling of a cantilever members: a support of cantilever manually calculated RSA according to Belgium NBN EN CTiCM LTBeam IPE 300 fully fixed 305,4 305,9 305,5 fixed with warping 158,3 158,7 133,3 HEA 160 fully fixed 231,9 233,1 fixed with warping 151,7 128,2 CONCLUSIONS: Belgium NBN EN 1993-1:2005/ AC:2009/ ANB:2010 standard provides formulas for calculating Mcr for a cantilever for two types of its support: 1. without warping at the support end (fully fixed) 2. with warping at the support end (fixed with warping). Agreement of Mcr results for: п‚· manually calculated & RSA - for all cases calculated according to Belgium standard; п‚· CTiCM LTBeam software & RSA (NBN code) вЂ“ for a cantilever without warping at the support end (fully fixed). The differences between the results of calculations carried out according to Belgium standard and CTiCM LTBeam software appear for the case of beams with possiblitty of warping at both ends (these differences resulting from the use of other verification formulas in the above mentioned standards).
