Robot Structural Analysis 2009

Using exceptionally powerful FEA analysis, Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis calculates a wide range of structural models. Using a comprehensive collection of design codes, results are delivered in minutes, not hours. Seamless workflow with 3D bidirectional links to Autodesk companion products; provide a scalable, country-specific analysis solution for many different types of structures. This includes; buildings, bridges, civil and specialty structures.
