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...
Concrete pile design is now incorporated in the pile cap results in RISAFoundation. With the addition of axial pile design in RISAFoundation v10.0, the program can model concrete pile shapes and design the reinforcement, or the user can also apply their own custom rebar layout. Now you can get a...
RISA is pleased to announce the release of the latest RISA-Revit Link which is compatible with Revit 2020. The RISA-Revit Link v19.0 allows seamless integration between RISAFloor, RISA-3D, and Autodesk Revit. The latest version now includes the ability to import beam reinforcement details from...
RISA-3D v16 now includes the added ability to view foundations designed in RISAFoundation. This feature proves useful as it gives a way for engineers to see if foundations have been sized appropriately for the loading from RISA-3D. For more information about how foundations can be shown in RISA-3D,...
Update: July 2022 The issues with Windows 10 (Version 1803) have been solved. However, for customers still using older versions of RISA products, the workaround using compatibility mode described below may still be useful.
RISAFloor ES has the ability to check the Long Term Deflection with Creep and Shrinkage. The program uses an iterative method to adjust the plate stiffness until it converges upon a solution. You can setup all the necessary coefficients and factors in the Model Settings (as shown below).
RISAConnection Version 8.0 now offers Vertical Brace Diagonal Connections, the Vertical Chevron Brace Connection, and the Knee Brace Connection according to the Canadian (CSA S16-09 or CSA S16-14) design codes.
RISAConnection v8 now offers weak axis moment connections with beams framing into the web of a wide flange column. Previously, connections were only permitted to frame into the column flange. This additional feature will allow users to change the orientation of their wide flange column.
RISAFoundation has the capability to consider seismic loading for retaining walls.
