Designing a Steel Truss in RISA-3D
Halloween isn’t just for candy and costumes—it’s the perfect time to test your spooky engineering skills! We’ve brewed up a Halloween-themed RISA Jeopardy game, packed with fun, easy questions about our software. Tip for readers: Try to answer before revealing the “treat” below each question! 💀 Can You Count? 100 – RISACalc: How many components are currently available in RISACalc? 10 (Beam, Column, Steel Joist, Composite Beam, Retaining Wall, Spread Footing, Wall Footing, Drilled Pier, Seismic Load, Wind Load) 200 – FD: How many Data Entry spreadsheets are available in RISAFoundation? 25 300 – RISA-3D: How many countries or regions have building codes supported in RISA-3D? 9 (US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Great Britain, India, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia) 🎃 Adaptable 100 – ADAPT: Which of these is not an ADAPT product? ADAPT-Builder, ADAPT-Felt, ADAPT-Floor, ADAPT-ABI ADAPT-Floor 200 – ADAPT: Which mode of ADAPT-Builder is used to design slabs-on-grade on expansive soils using the PTI method? ADAPT-SOG 🕸️ The Whole Family 100 – Other: This steel detailing software and fellow Nemetschek brand has a built-in export option in RISA-3D. SDS2 200 – Other: Which design code is the most common in our software, found in 8 of our 10 programs?…

The Detail Report is great for reviewing the results and design of one member, but you often want to see the entire model’s forces or performance in RISA-3D. You can use the Result View Settings to graphically show force diagrams, deflections and design results on the model.
The RISA-3D training classes are a great way to receive instruction from the RISA experts while working on real-world examples that allow you to quickly master RISA software, take advantage of the latest features, streamline engineering and tackle modeling complexities. This two-day regional...
Last week, RISA held its final Steel Building Workshop at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA. The Steel Building Workshop series, spanned 7 cities over the past year and gave engineers a first hand look at how the RISA Building System can be used to design a real world project from start...
RISAFoundation v12 includes mat slab, concrete beam and pedestal design according to Eurocode 2. For more information, check out the video below.
RISAFloor v14 includes Steel Joist Vibration Analysis per SJI Technical Digest #5. For more information, check out the video below.
RISAFoundation has the ability to create a single layer of reinforcement anywhere in a slab. This improvement allows for a more straightforward design of thin, lightly loaded slab-on-grade where two layers of reinforcement (top/bottom) would be unnecessary. In order to add a single layer of...
RISAFoundation includes the ability to utilize “nested” load combinations. Currently, the Load Combinations spreadsheet in RISAFoundation is limited to ten columns of Basic Load Cases (BLCs) and Factor combinations. However, there are times where you may need to include additional entries to your...
