Claddings - Load Distribution

[afonsotnog]

How do I define the load distribution on claddings? The load distribution drop down is empty and I cannot define a new one in the Load Distribution dialog, as shown in the attached image.
The structure type is a Frame 3D.

Thanks,
Afonso

Hello,

Use Uniform planar load. You can find it from Load Definition.

Hello,

I had the same problem. I solved it in this way:

1. Find a file that has defined claddings. Look for official examples or let a friend who has a Robot to do that kind of file.
2. Open that file. Then click open and select your file. The cladding parameters should stay for use in the new file.

I have the same problem with supports and etc. but it is possible to define them manually. Don't know why it does like this.

There are predefined default labels for each language settings (supports, claddings, sections, offsets,... etc.). It looks like you have lost all the predefined labels .
What language version do you use?
Maybe changing working language and restarting program will help.
If not, you can delete the file with labels definition: labelusr.rtl
in your user directory: "c:\Users\your_login\Application Data\\Autodesk\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis 23.0\CfgUsr\.." (23.0 is for version 2010)

Thank's waldemar.okapa. Changing the regional settings worked.
