RISA-Tekla Link v10 Released

The release of the RISA-Tekla Link v10 introduces compatibility with Tekla Structures V2020. This update of the link includes the following features as well as other enhancements: Added the ability to align the top of beam elevation using detailing information and cardinal points. Added the ability to round-trip rigid link elements. These improvements are important because RISA-3D defines members by their analytical centerline for the structural analysis and design, while Tekla Structures defines members by their physical alignment for constructability and detailing purposes. Cardinal points are used to properly map member positions when a RISA-3D model is imported into Tekla. Additionally, cardinal points enable the engineer to specify the "true" elevations for member connections and alignment without affecting the structural analysis and design. Another new improvement included in the latest release of the RISA-Tekla Link is the support for rigid links. Rigid links can be used to tie members together, such as in the example of two stacked wide flange beams, modeled with rigid links so that the members act compositely (see image below).

RISA-Tekla Link v8 Now Available

RISA is pleased to announce the release of the latest RISA-Tekla Link that is compatible with Tekla Structures 2018. Roundtrip integration is now available between RISA-3D and Tekla Structures 2018. This seamless link will allow analysis models to be transferred between programs while tracking and identifying changes and modifications. Note: The RISA-Tekla Link v8 requires RISA-3D v16.0.3 OR RISAConnection v8 or higher.
