Time History Dynamic Analysis in Autodesk Robot: Step-by-Step Tutorial

In this video, we'll explore how to perform time history dynamic analysis in Autodesk Robot using a step-by-step tutorial. We'll cover the basics of creating a structural model in Autodesk Robot, including how to define the properties of the structure and how to apply loads and boundary conditions.

We'll start by discussing the importance of time history dynamic analysis in the design process and how it can help engineers understand the behavior of structures under dynamic loads. We'll then dive into the specifics of creating a structural model for a simplified building, including how to define the properties of the building, how to create the different sections of the building, and how to connect them together.

Next, we'll provide step-by-step instructions and helpful tips for performing time history dynamic analysis in the model. We'll cover the basics of defining the loads, including how to specify the time history function, how to define the damping ratio, and how to apply the loads to the different sections of the building.

Finally, we'll discuss the importance of interpreting the results of the analysis and how they can be used to improve the design of the structure. We'll provide practical tips and guidelines for designing structures with time history dynamic analysis for a given application.

Whether you're a student, a practicing engineer, or simply interested in the behavior of structures, this video will provide you with valuable insights into performing time history dynamic analysis in Autodesk Robot using a step-by-step tutorial.
