using Robot™ Structural and Altiscad Intellishape®

Dr. Eng. Gheorghe IONICĂ – Altiscad Software
Code: SE322-2
The recent seismic disasters revealed the increasing need of a design conceived for safer buildings. The
class will explain how to perform seismic analysis of multi-storey building, according to various country
code requirements. The class will focus on advanced plastic analysis using both Autodesk Robot
Structural Analysis and Altiscad Intellishape, a custom developed solution for checking ultimate
resistance of structural elements. Attending this class. engineers will learn how to design concrete
elements with arbitrary shape, structural wall cores, or columns under compression with lateral load. Both
Robot Structural Analysis and Revit® Structure advanced capabilities will be used to analyze a structure,
to add reinforcement, and to calculate elements ultimate capacity.

CALCULATION EXAMPLE WITH ROBOT

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS PROFESSIONAL 2011
REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURE
- NODES VERIFICATION -
In the next example we will show a reinforced concrete structure mainly

made with reinforced concrete frames but also with reinforced concrete
walls.
The configuration of the reinforced concrete structure is:
- Height of building ground + 4 levels;

- Three openings of 6 m;
- 4 spans of 4.5m plus reinforced concrete walls of 7.5m;
- The height of the ground floor is 5m and the height of the other floors
is 3.5m
After the calculation ended we will go on and start the verification of a

frame joint. To make this possible it is necessary for the beams and
columns that intersect in the specific joint to be designed in the
corresponding beam or column model.

1. Chosing and selecting the frames
2. Designing a reinforced concrete beam
The calculation of a reinforced concrete beam tipe element is made by

selecting the components of continuous beam and going to Analysis >
Design of RC structure elements > RC beam design.
At the start of this module the Parameters of RC Elements window will

apear. There you can chose between Simple cases and Manual
combinations. Chosing the first option the program will automaticly make
4
the combinations based on the simple cases introduced by you. The

second option is exclusively for manual combinations made in advence.
5
The control of the design of RC beam model is made from the Beam
Parameters toolbar. Here you can define a Cross section type, Item
dimensions, Openings. The program also lets us to redefine the loads from
the Loads definition button.
The most used options in the case of taking a beam from an analized
model will be: Story parameters, Calculation options, and reinforcement
pattern. For viewing or editing the results the next options are available:
Reinforcement, Calculation note, Drawings, Drawings parameters,
Structure updating, and so on.
In Calculation Options window you can set the type of the concrete, of the
longitudinal and transversal reinfercement, the necesary element plasticity.
6
In the Reinforcement Pattern window you can select the prefered diameter
and the minimum diameter for the reinforcement, the number of layers on
which il will pe placed, the shape of the transversal reinforcement, and so
on.
7
After all the settings had been made you can start the calculation of the
element from the Analysis > Calculation Option Set window. The window
that will apear after the calculation is complete depends on the selection of
8
one of the options: Current layout, Results layout, Reinfercement layout,

Drawing layout.
In the Beam – Results window you can see the beam envelopes for the
bending moment and for the capable, design or theoretical shear force, and
so on. The display of these results can be done in a very detaliled way,
depending on a variety of parameters: combinations, reinforcement,
deflections, simple cases, and so on.
9
10
11
In the Beam – Reinforcement the reinforcement bars are arranged, the

longitudinal oanes as well as the transversal oanes with the posibility of
editing each part of them separately in a tabular window.
After the editing of the reinforcement is done you can make the drawings.
They can be exported in RSA module to be done or directly in Autocad
Structural Detailing for some shape editing.
12
You can also acces the calculation notes. Accesing them is very easy and
it has a well-structured presentation. Next we will insert some calculation
notes fragments.

3. Designing reinforced concrete columns
The calculation of the RC column type elements is made by selecting the

component elements of a continuous beam and going to Analysis > Desire
of RC Structure elements > RC column design.
At the start of this module the Parameters of RC Elements. You can chose
here, just like in the beam case, between simple cases and manual
combinations.
The control of the design of RC column model is made from the Column
Parameters toolbar. Here you can define a Cross section type, Item
dimensions, Buckling length. The program also lets us to redefine the loads
from the Loads definition button.
The most used options in the case of taking a column from an analized
model will be: Story parameters, Calculation options, and reinforcement
pattern. For viewing or editing the results the next options are available:
Reinforcement, Calculation note, Column drawings, Drawings parameters,
Structure updating, and so on.
26
In Calculation Options window you can set the type of the concrete, of the
longitudinal and transversal reinfercement, the necesary element plasticity.
27
In the Reinforcement Pattern window you can select the prefered diameter
and the minimum diameter for the reinforcement, the number of layers on
which il will pe placed, the shape of the transversal reinforcement, and so
on.
Just like in the procedure shown for the RC beams, after all settings had
been made we can calculate the element from Alalysis > Calculation
Options. The window that will appear after the calculation in complete
28
depends on the selection of one of the options: Current layout, Results

layout, Reinfercement layout, Drawing layout.
In the Column – Results window you can see the column envelopes by
combinations, the fundamental oanes as well as the accidental oanes. The
display of these results is in a tabular window but also as bending moment
– axial force interaction curve diagram.
29
In the Column – Reinforcement the reinforcement bars are arranged, the

longitudinal oanes as well as the transversal oanes with the posibility of
editing each part of them separately in a tabular window.
After the editing of the reinforcement is done you can make the drawings.
They can be exported in RSA module to be done or directly in Autocad
Structural Detailing for some shape editing.
You can also acces the calculation notes. Accesing them is very easy and
it has a well-structured presentation.
30
4. Nodes verification.
The RC node verification is possible by going to Connections > Beam-

column nodes.
31
You have to pay a special attention to this window for the beams and
column numbering that intersect in the node. For example, for the 38..40
beam the V2 support corresponds to the common point of the 38 and 39
beams, and for 62..65 beam, the V2 support corresponds to the common
point of the 62 and 63 beams. The columns 14 and 105 must have the
same common point with the intresection of the beams.
The node verification will be done depending on the proposed ductility for
the structure. The initial appearance of the plastic hinge on the beam is
controlled by incresing the bending moment of the column from the capable
bending moment of the beam, as is shown by the requirement below:

In the window below the verification combinations are selected for each of
the 4 elements in hand( trnsversal beems, longitudinal beems, upper
column, lower column). The verification of the node will be made only for
the combinations chosen by you. They can be modified, erased or you can
add more.
33
The results will be displayed with a value larger than 1 for the
corresponding nodes and combinations and with a value smoler than 1 for
the nodes that don’t meet the requirements.
This model can also provide calculation notes simplified as well as detailed,
very usefull for a third party to check the calculations. In the end I will show
an example in this way.

Altiscad Intellishape(R) Design Steps

The most simple, efficient and fast way to analyze structural walls and columns to
lateral forces (seismic loads , wind loads) in non linear analysis is by combining the
features of the following softwares: Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, Revit Structure
and Altiscad Intellishape (R). The use of extensions helps the user in the integration
process.
Autodesk provides their customers with a series of extensions necessary for the
integration and detailing process. For this process to be completed, Altiscad Intellishape
Extension (R) completes the integration between the three programs.
The benefit of the integration is the iterative procedure and its steps:
1. Using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis the model of the structure is made
(geometrical model, loads, seismic parameters, combinations etc) and then the
same software proceeds with the design anlysis.
2. The structural model is then transferred from Robot to Revit using Revit's
extensions. These are available with the Autodesk subscription.
3. The reinforcement of the concrete elements is the realized using Revit's special
tools.
4. Using Altiscad Intellishape Extension (R) the reinforced concrete elements are
transferred to Altiscad Intellishape (R). The extension allows the transfer of the
reinforced cross section with materials from Revit, but also the import of forces
from Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis (from all combinations to the selected
element).
5. The section is then analized and the moment curvature diagrams are provided:
NM, Mx-My and the geometrical characteristics of the cross section. The forces
are then verified by observing their placement in the interior or in the exterior of
the diagram. There are also other coefficients available like the compression ratio
of the section.
6. For the next step, we modify the geometric characteristics in Autodesk Robot
Structural Analysis (reduced moments of inertia due to the cracking of the
section).
7. The iterative process is then replayed from step 1 to step 5 until all the
requirements are fulfilled.
8. The reinforced elements are then transferred from Autodesk Revit Structure to
ASD.
9. In the last step, the final execution drawings are made in Autodesk Autocad
Structural Detailing.
