Composite Beam Design Extension 2021

Autodesk, Inc.

Composite Beam Design Extension enables you to perform static analysis and design of composite steel beams in an Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis Professional model.

Free

Using Composite Beam Design Extension, you can quickly design and check the behavior of composite beams. You can also design an entire composite floor system on a floor by floor basis within a Robot model.

  • This application lets you select from two methods of calculating internal forces: Internal Engine and Robot Structural Analysis (for advanced users).
  • All design is based on ANSI/AISC 360-10.
  • This application works for composite steel beam design, but you can also use it for non-composite design.
  • The basic functionalities include the interactive and automatic design of composite beams.
  • Full bidirectional integration with the Robot model is achieved using this application.

Note: Composite Beam Design Extension 2021 will work only with Robot 2021.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Limitations:

  • The Internal Engine method does not support cantilevers and multi-span beams.
  • Deck orientation is consistent with the x-x axis of the local coordinate system of the slab. 
  • In an Robot model, we recommend using orthotropic slabs composed with trapezoidal steel plates.
