Known issues and limitations

For general issues identified and planned to be fixed see the issue page.

There are some known limitations with the Robot object model that might make some information get lost when pushing to the software. The known limitations are outlined below.

Nodes

Missing Properties:

• Name

Bars

Missing properties:

• Name

Panel Planar

Missing properties:

• Name

FEMesh

Not Implemented

Material

Note that Robot will try to use pre-existing materials if name of the assigned material matches the name of a material in Robot. This can lead to the following properties getting changed.

Missing properties:

• DryDensity
• CompressiveYieldStrength
• TensileYieldStrength
• StrainAtYield

Section Property

When pushing a section property, the adapter first tries to create a standard section based on the name of the section. Which of the section data bases that will be used depends on the RobotConfig. Read the robot object relations page for more details.
Missing properties:

• Corner, toe and fillet radii
• Weld size
• Reinforcement (On concrete sections)

Limitations:

• Name. Some names sometimes gets changed slightly due to matching with pre-existing sections from the database. (CHS 33.7x4.0 => CHS 33.7x4 etc.)
• Small changes on area and other values depending on area (due to missing radii and weld size properties)

Surface Property

Limitations:

• PanelType (Always set to 'Slab')

Node Constraints

Limitations:

• Translation and Rotation (X, Y, Z) DOF type is always set to 'Fixed' (even 'Spring'!). Currently only DOF type 'Free' will be set to 'Spring' in Robot. This is to be fixed with this issue: #158

Bar Releases

Missing properties:

• Name

Limitations:

• Available DOF Types: Free, Spring, Fixed, FixedNegative, FixedPositive
