RISA-3D is expanding its industry leading support for the analysis and design of various materials with the implementation of Seismic Design of Masonry Wall Panels according to the provisions of TMS 402-16 (as well as ACI 530-13). When creating a model in RISA-3D, users now have the ability to...
The CSA A23.3-14 Concrete Design Code has been implemented into RISA-3D v20 and RISAFloor v16 for concrete wall panels. These walls can be designated and designed as either gravity only or lateral elements in RISAFloor when designing a complete building utilizing concrete walls. Prior to this...
RISA-3D Version 20 includes enhanced rotation tools which allow the user to better control their view of the structure. Users can now utilize click to rotate buttons about each axis (X, Y and Z) as well as define the rotation angle of each click/increment. For more information about these enhanced...
RISA-3D is a robust tool for the analysis and design of a variety of different structures. Whether users are creating simple or incredibly complex models, the need to be able to easily review precise results and create corresponding screenshots is paramount. As a result, RISA-3D Version 20 now...
With the release of RISAFloor Version 16, users can now model, analyze and design hanger columns. This type of construction has been widely requested by customers and will allow customers to accurately model hanging mezzanine levels in building structures. What are Hanger Columns? Unlike tradition...
RISAFoundation Version 14 includes new and improved tools for the modification of slab edges, openings and thickness. The new version allows users to easily modify corner points of thickened regions or openings by first selecting the corner and then dragging it to a new location. Additionally,...
RISA-3D continues to be at the cutting-edge of finite elements analysis software with the release of the Geometric Nonlinear Stiffness method for use during P-Delta analysis. Traditionally, RISA-3D considered P-Delta effects using a Standard Nodal Shear methodology which applies pseudo shear loads...
RISAFloor Version 16 includes new and improved tools for the modification of openings, slab regions and thickness. The new version allows users to easily modify corner points of thickened regions or openings by first selecting the corner and then dragging it to a new location. For more information...
As a floor-by-floor design software, RISAFloor includes robust features for the design of steel joists, including standard joists, long-span joists and composite joists. Version 16 of RISAFloor now includes design according to the latest specification (SJI 45th Edition) as well as expanded...
