Modeling Warehouse Cranes with Moving Loads in Autodesk Robot: Step-by-Step Tutorial

[@khaledmoughabbat7870]

Hello, thank you for your fantastic channel videos and topics. how to apply the moving loads in load combinations? thank you

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hi there, I am happy you liked the video, you can use moving loads (the load case, not + or -) as a normal combination in (manual combinations) that is totally fine.

Hello, Would you prepare a session about applying thermal loads on a steel structure using RSA, and explain the way we calculate the thermal loads using Eurocode? Thank you a lot

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

I will keep that in mind. I still am a little bit overstretched with multiple video series I have on this channel, but I will definitely keep this suggestion tabbed.

What about locrane combination for example 1.2DL +1.6LL

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Depends on the crane itself. Usually cranes are considered live loads (because they are of moving nature). I do not see why you would need to have dead loads for the crane. Even if the crane "crab element" does have a "self weight", as strange as it sounds, since the crane is moving on the beam, this self weight is treated as live load. If I misunderstood your question, feel free to clarify. Regards, CEE

[@oz2904]

why don"t you apply the moving load to the offset crane beam directly?

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

that is also possible and a good idea actually. ^_^

I cant find the moving load 🙂

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hi there. You have to run the analysis first. Then select the moving load case, and make sure that: forces generated automatically is selected.

Make sure that you have selected building design as your robot template.

@@BA-gp7sr i had this issue myself, according to an autodesk forum you need to go to Tools -> Customize menus -> loads/special loads, and then you need to activate " moving loads", you'll know it's activated if it's turned green
