RISA Acquires ADAPT Corporation

RISA is excited to announce the acquisition of ADAPT Corporation. Over the past 30 years, both RISA and ADAPT have focused on developing best in class solutions that directly respond to the needs of our customers and the market, while also maintaining the highest level of customer support. As a result of our shared goals, we believe that joining the brands and integrating all programs under the roof of RISA will create a comprehensive workflow for the building market regardless of material while also providing customers increased flexibility and efficiency. “We are thrilled to have the experienced team from ADAPT on board,” says Amber Freund, CEO of RISA. “Our customers will significantly benefit from this combined power, as we are now able to offer a comprehensive concrete and steel design solution including post-tensioning.” While ADAPT is primarily known for the analysis and design of post-tensioned slabs, their product offerings include a wide range of tools tuned for the complete design of concrete building structures. To accomplish this, ADAPT-Builder offers an easy to use, fully integrated 3D modeling approach for all reinforced concrete and post-tensioned building projects including the design of multi-story buildings, individual concrete slabs, mat foundations and concrete slabs…

Enhanced "Move" Tools in RISAFoundation

RISAFoundation v10.0 now includes the added ability to move selected foundation elements. This includes beams, wall footings, piles, pedestals, slabs, etc. To access the tool, click on the Move Selected Items button to open the dialog box. There are 3 primary ways to move elements with this tool: 1. Move by Point Location selection allows a user to graphically move selected items by clicking from one point to another. As demonstrated below, the Move by Point Location selection is used to move the footings and beams from Grids B and C to Grids D and E. 2. Move by Increments (ft) selection is a straight forward option that allows a user to move selected items by entering the exact movement increments in the X and Z directions. In the demonstration below, we entered “10” and “15” for X and Z, respectively. This move positioned the footing at location H-7. 3. Move at an Angle selection is another self-explanatory option that allows a user to move selected items at a specified angle to the horizontal Z axis paired with a specified offset distance. Demonstrated below, we again moved the selection so that the footing would now be positioned at location H-7…
