"Hi Jon, Thanks for replying so fast. Is it then possible to model other then a rectangular cross section in the ssi for Robot and the SDR? Or how would you recommend to model RC columns and beam with GG? In Robot 2012 these…"

"It seems the only option (within Robot as a user or import from API) is to use numeric values for inertia and area etc. This probably isn't the most satisfactory way to do this. Oasys GSA is one of the few analysis software…"

"Hi Jon, Have you had the time to look into an arbitrary profile section for Robot export function? I would like to model different concrete columns and beams with shapes as seen below: I have tried different approaches but none really…"

"Hi Alex, Glad it helped. This multi-model confusion matter has evolved from the early version of the tools, when some attributes (such as property section tables) were managed in the rhino document, or you might want to work with imported…"

"Jon, thanks for replying so quickly. The work on your blog and in this discussion group is very interesting. I have had a quick look at that model (now opened on its own) and it seems that the problem was having another document open. Amusing…"

"Can you post the definition? My first suspicion is that maybe you have multiple versions of the same Grasshopper model. Note that all grasshopper documents that are open contribute to the same database (and you can generate some of the…"

Old / Random Nodes when sending Model to Robot using SSi

Hi, I’ve only just started learning Grasshopper and the SSI plug-in for robot, so apologies if this is not the correct place to post it.I’m trying to create a grillage of beams orientated at an angle. I have managed to create this and the geometry looks correct in the rhino viewer. Image 1.However when I bake the model to robot I…See More
