RISA-3D Plates New Meshing
Improved Automesh & Local Axis Settings

RISA-3D now includes improved behavior of the automesh feature as well as the newly added global model setting for Plate Local Axis. The new plate local axis options include both Nodal and Global. These options allow for more control over plates which can lead to clearer results in plate contour plots. For more information on these enhancements in RISA-3D, view the video posted to YouTube.
