What Happens During a RISA Software Tour?

Exploring a new structural design software purchase? If you’ve ever wondered how RISA’s software could fit into your structural design workflow, a RISA Software Tour is the fastest way to find out—no guesswork, no canned presentations. In this free, 1-hour session, you’ll meet 1-on-1 with a RISA engineer who understands the challenges you face in the field. We’ll tailor the tour around your projects, your workflow, and the materials you design in—whether that’s steel, concrete, wood, or a mix of all three. Here’s what you can expect: Personalized guidance: We’ll focus on the specific RISA tools that match your needs. Workflow tips: Learn modeling techniques that save time and improve accuracy. Live Q&A: Bring real project questions and get answers from an experienced engineer. It’s not a sales pitch—it’s a working session designed to help you see exactly how RISA can work for you…

Tips for Solving a Slow Solution in RISA-3D

Is your RISA-3D software solution running slower than you expected? There are a few things you can do during your model set up in order to make your model more efficient and reduce the solution time. RISA has compiled a list of our most common tips for solving a slow solution in RISA-3D. 1. Is your Analysis Mesh too Small? RISA software uses a finite element analysis mesh to analyze and solve the structural model. Therefore, RISA-3D creates software generated plates when submeshing elements (such as diaphragms and walls). By default, the FEA mesh size is set to 24 inches. RISA users have the ability to reduce the mesh size. However, reducing the FEA mesh size causes the program to generate a much finer mesh which takes a longer time to solve. If your model solution is very slow, we suggest reviewing these FEA mesh size settings. You may need to increase this mesh size. This mesh setting is found in your Model Settings, then open the Solution tab. Please Note: Increasing mesh size can help improve run time, but can also reduce results accuracy, so modify with a balanced approach. What about Semi-Rigid Diaphragms? In an integrated RISAFloor/RISA-3D model,…

Unused nodes can be lingering from previously deleted elements or perhaps maybe even accidentally drawn from the Node Spreadsheet. They may be tightly packed or close to other used nodes. In…
