RoboLT

The example presents the way how to take advantage of Open Standard (RobotOS) for definition of a parametrized bar structure by means of a macro in a MS Word® document.

The task of the macro is to analyze a simple bar structure: defining of a structure, applying of loads, running calculations and presenting results in the form of a calculation note. 

Available since version 13.51 of the ROBOT program.

How to activate the example?

  1. Open the RoboLT.doc document in the Ms Word® program and switch on the macro support
  2. Enter the basic structure parameters
  3. Enter parameters for the applied loads
  4. Activate the automatic structure analysis by means of the ”Calculation note” button. After a moment the tables containing appropriate results will appear in the document. Now, it is enough to print the entire document to obtain the documentation for a structure.

Note:

The example takes advantage of the “Simple Catpro” section library and British materials during structure generation. If settings in job preferences do not suit the example requirements, they will be automatically changed.
