Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis level 1

Educational goals

The aim of the training is to improve the skills and accelerate work related to construction calculations and the selection and optimization of appropriate steel sections and reinforcement of concrete elements in the software Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis . The ability to quickly prepare and optimally adjust design solutions and adapt them to the expectations of the customer allows us to win new orders and meet the increasing requirements of projects.
