Robot Millenium 15: Modeling 3-d elements

Robot Millenium 15: Modeling 3-d elements

Robot Millenium 15: Modeling 3-d elements

(OP)
I have to model 3-d elements of different materials in Robot. The graphical facilities to model in Robot are so minimal that I find it very difficult to model the solids correctly. All the time I am getting Incoherent meshes at the intersections and other problems. I teried to import from Autocad 3-d but it also does not work.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

RE: Robot Millenium 15: Modeling 3-d elements

For the modelling I also find Robot useless for more complicated models. I usually generate nodes in a simpler frames package and then export them to a spreadsheet, and then into Robot (making sure x,y and z directions are same!)
Then I join the dots to make the more complicated structure.

For the incoherent meshing, you need to go through and change the meshing properties of the plates to get a more satisfactory layout. This makes me think that the automesh facility is not that great. The help file for Robot (pdf on disk) has a quite detailed section on meshing.
