Defining Earthquake Loads in Autodesk Robot: Simplified Tutorial

In this video, we'll explore how to define earthquake loads in Autodesk Robot using a simplified example. 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 different types of earthquake loads that can be defined in Autodesk Robot. 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.

Finally, we'll provide step-by-step instructions and helpful tips for defining earthquake loads in the model. We'll cover the basics of defining the loads, including how to specify the seismic hazard level, how to define the seismic weight of the structure, and how to apply the loads to the different sections of the building.

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 defining earthquake loads in Autodesk Robot using a simplified example.
