🏗️ Robot Structural Analysis for Metal Structures in Photovoltaic Applications

Course Overview:

Master the art of designing and analyzing metal structures, specifically for isolated roofs and photovoltaic canopies, using Robot Structural Analysis (RSA) software. This course is tailored to help you comply with Eurocode standards and provides comprehensive training from modeling to final calculations and design validation.

What You Will Learn:

1. Mastering RSA:

   • Gain the ability to model isolated roofs and photovoltaic canopies using RSA, tailored to Eurocode compliance.
   • Familiarize yourself with the user interface and leverage its full potential for efficient analysis.

2. Setting Up Your Project:

   • Prepare your project by configuring the appropriate norms, materials, and catalogs within RSA.

3. Modeling the Structure:

   • Detailed steps to model all components of the structure:
     • Pillars (a)
     • Beams (b)
     • Roof panels (c)
     • Cables (d)
     • Tie rods (e)
     • Trusses (f)
   • Follow a structured approach to ensure every aspect of the structure is accurately represented in RSA.

4. Applying Loads:

   • Understand and apply loads according to Eurocode 1, including wind and snow loads using Excel tools for precise calculations.
   • Learn how to calculate wind load as per Eurocode and distribute it across the roof areas using Excel spreadsheets.
   • Comprehend the methodology for snow loading and apply it to the photovoltaic canopies.
   • Incorporate all other loads, including self-weight and permanent loads.

5. Structural Analysis:

   • Perform a comprehensive analysis of the structure using RSA in the finite element method (FEM) mode as per Eurocode 3.
   • Ensure the stability and resistance of materials used in the structure.

6. Applying the Right Connections:

   • Understand the types of connections (articulations and encastrements) and their suitable relâchements, including when and why to apply them.

7. Validation and Verification:

   • Verify the stability and resistance of each bar in the structure using the ELU (Energy-Based Ultimate Limit State) and ELS (Serviceability Limit State) criteria.
   • Adjust flambement lengths, and set appropriate limits for horizontal and vertical arches to achieve a reliable design.

8. Documenting Your Design:

   • Learn how to compile a comprehensive note de calcul that meets all necessary standards and guidelines, ensuring your design is both efficient and compliant.
