The example shows the use of the Open Standard (RobotOS) to generate parametrized shell structures by using the macros of the MS Excel^® spread sheet. The task of the macro is to create a silos model by means of basic objects: line, polyline, arc, contour and available edition options: extrusion, extrusion along polyline and revolution option.

Available from the 14.0 version of ROBOT program.

How to activate the example?

1. Run the ROBOT program and enter shell design module.
2. Open the CreateSilo.xls document in the MS Excel^® program and activate the macros.
3. Enter geometrical parameters of the silos into appropriate cells of the spread sheet.
4. Click on the "Generate silo" button.
5. Check the general structure generated in the ROBOT program (it is recommended to change into the 3D model).
