Key Features
Finite Element Modeling and Meshing
Robot Structural Analysis generates automatic finite element meshes with parametric control for beams, panels, 3D solids, and composite structures. Mesh density and refinement parameters are adjustable per element type, eliminating the need for manual mesh construction while maintaining computational accuracy for complex geometry.
Structural Analysis Types
Linear and Nonlinear Analysis
Calculates stress, displacement, and internal forces under linear elastic conditions. Nonlinear analysis models material yielding and contact detection for structures where linear assumptions are insufficient, including structures with geometric or material nonlinearity under extreme loads.
Modal and Dynamic Analysis
Calculates natural frequencies and mode shapes for any structure. Supports response spectrum analysis for seismic design code compliance and time-history analysis to evaluate structural response under transient loading conditions such as blast, impact, or machine-induced vibration.
Seismic Design and Pushover Analysis
Evaluates structural performance under earthquake loading using modal analysis, spectral methods, and pushover simulation. Identifies failure mechanisms and verifies code-based seismic design requirements including base isolation systems and high-performance structural configurations for active seismic zones.
Wind Simulation and Load Generation
Simulates airflow around structures using computational fluid dynamics to generate wind pressure maps and automatic wind loads. Replaces manual wind load calculations for complex or irregular geometries including tall buildings, canopies, and stadium structures.
Design Code Verification
Steel Member Design
Designs and verifies steel beams, columns, and connections against ACI, AISC, Eurocode, CSA, and regional codes. Includes automatic section optimization and generates detailed capacity reports for each verified member.
Reinforced Concrete Design and Rebar
Designs concrete members including beams, columns, foundations, and slabs with automatic rebar placement, bending schedules, and fabrication detailing. Supports ACI, Eurocode, and international standards with output suitable for direct use in construction documentation.
70+ International Design Codes
Includes US AISC and ACI standards, European Eurocodes with national annexes, Canadian CSA, Australian AS standards, and country-specific codes for global structural compliance. Code libraries are built into the application and available offline.
BIM Integration and Interoperability
Revit Bidirectional Link
Imports structural models from Autodesk Revit with automatic dead load calculation. Exports analysis results and design recommendations back to Revit, maintaining synchronized updates between structural analysis and BIM documentation throughout the design process.
Advance Steel Integration
Connects with Autodesk Advance Steel for detailed connection design and fabrication documentation, extending the structural workflow from analysis through to shop drawings and steel fabrication.
File Formats and Export
- Native: .rtd (Robot project file)
- BIM exchange: IFC
- Drawing export: DXF, DWG
- Results export: Excel (.xlsx), PDF
- Steel interoperability: CIS/2
Load Management and Results
Load Cases and Combinations
Defines gravity loads, wind and snow loads, dynamic loads, and automatically generates code-based load combinations. Automatic critical case identification selects governing combinations for each design verification, reducing manual review of combination sets.
Results Visualization and Reporting
Displays stress contours, displacement diagrams, and force distributions with customizable color mapping. Generates comprehensive design verification reports and exports results to Excel for further analysis or client deliverables.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis used for?
Robot Structural Analysis Professional is used for finite element analysis and code-based design verification of buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. Structural engineers use it to model loads, run linear and nonlinear analysis, verify steel and concrete members against international codes, and prepare design documentation.
Does it work without internet or an Autodesk account?
Yes. The version available in this store runs fully offline after installation. No internet connection is required during use, and no Autodesk account is needed to open or run the software.
What file formats does Robot Structural Analysis support?
Robot Structural Analysis uses .rtd as its native project format. It supports IFC for BIM exchange, DXF and DWG for drawing export, CIS/2 for steel fabrication interoperability, and Excel (.xlsx) and PDF for results and reports.
What design codes does it include?
The software includes 70+ international design code libraries: US AISC and ACI standards, European Eurocodes with national annexes, Canadian CSA, Australian AS standards, and country-specific codes. All code libraries are built into the application and available offline.
Does Robot Structural Analysis work with Revit?
Yes. Robot Structural Analysis includes a bidirectional link with Autodesk Revit. Structural models import from Revit with automatic dead load calculation, and analysis results export back to Revit to maintain coordination between structural analysis and BIM documentation.
Is it good for seismic design?
Yes. Robot Structural Analysis supports modal analysis, response spectrum analysis, time-history analysis, and pushover simulation for seismic design. It verifies structures against code-based seismic requirements and supports base isolation system modeling for high-seismic-zone projects.
What does RSA Pro stand for?
RSA Pro is the common abbreviation for Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional — the full commercial name of the product. It is also referred to simply as "Robot Structural Analysis" or "Robot" in structural engineering practice.
What is the difference between Robot Structural Analysis and ETABS?
Robot Structural Analysis covers a broader range of structure types including bridges and industrial facilities, includes built-in CFD wind load simulation, and offers a native bidirectional Revit link. ETABS is optimized specifically for building structures and high-rise design. Robot is available as a one-time purchase; ETABS is subscription-only.
