Buckling Analysis in RSA

[martinhh85]

Hi all...
Is it possible in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis 2011, to make a buckling analysis taking second order bending into account? I want to make a simple column and then calculate the load bearing capacity when instability is considered to compare with the critical Euler load for the same column. Hope someone is able to help me. Thanks in advance

Yes it is possible. To get more precise results you can divide your column by adding extra nodes.

Yeah. I kinda found a way to do it...

Do you have to add ekstra notes manually, or can you specify how many element each column should be divided into? And how do you do that?

Just find a command "Divide" from the menu...
