Steel frame modeling
Three-dimensional Robot models for beams, columns, braced frames, moment frames, trusses, platforms, conveyors, pipe racks, vessel-support structures, equipment supports, and multi-level industrial systems.

Design the structure.
SSD Industries uses Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis to model steel structures, evaluate load combinations and structural behavior, and turn complex results into buildable design information.

ANALYSIS MODEL LIBRARYBuildings, towers + equipment
Computer structural analysis
Model the whole
structural system.
Complex steel structures should be evaluated as connected systems, not isolated members. A three-dimensional analysis model allows SSD to study how gravity and lateral loads travel through framing, diaphragms, bracing, supports, and foundations.
The Robot workflow supports early design decisions, detailed verification, and coordinated communication of reactions and demands to the rest of the project team.
Modeling capabilities
Analysis that
stays buildable.
Loading + load paths
Gravity, wind, snow, seismic, equipment, platform, maintenance, and lateral loading are assembled into a coordinated analysis model to review how forces move through the structure.
Analysis + optimization
Member forces, reactions, drift, deflection, stability, and utilization results inform practical member selection, connection reactions, and foundation design criteria.
Deliverables + coordination
Analysis output is translated into clear design drawings, steel details, equipment reactions, vessel and pipe-rack support loads, and BIM coordination information that supports fabrication and construction.
From model to drawings
Detailed forces.
Clear decisions.
Model results help define member sizes, reactions, connection design loads, base plate and anchor demands, and foundation criteria. SSD combines the analysis model with structural steel detailing and construction documents for a coordinated design package.
