Seismic,
RISA-3D,
RISAFloor,
New,
RISAConnection
Design
for
seismic
connection
detailing
is
now
available
in
RISAConnection
and
you
can
use
the
connection
rules
within
RISAFloor
and
RISA-3D
to
export
a
RISAConnection
model.
The
integration
will
import
the
connection
forces
(and
seismic
detailing
results)
into
RISAConnection
for
seismic
moment
frame
connection
design.
From
RISA-3D:
First,
you
must
apply
both
a
“Column/Beam
Seismic
Moment”
connection
rule
and
a
seismic
design
rule
to
the
member
(beam)
within
RISA-3D.
Next,
solve
the
RISA-3D
model
in
order
to
review
your
seismic
detailing
results.
If
you
do
not
have
seismic
detailing
results
in
RISA-3D,
then
the
information
cannot
be
exported
to
RISAConnection.
For
more
information
about
seismic
detailing
results,
see
the
RISA-3D
Help
file
topic
“Seismic
Detailing“.
Use
the
Director
tool
to
export
the
model
into
RISAConnection.
When
exported
into
RISAConnection,
the
program
will
determine
the
connection
type,
seismic
system,
and
seismic
input
values
based
on
the
applied
RISA-3D
seismic
design
rule
and
the
RISA-3D
solution
results.
Once
in
RISAConnection,
these
cannot
be
changed.
From
RISAFloor:
Apply
the
“Seismic
Moment”
connection
rule
to
lateral
members
with
RISAFloor
(see
above)
or
in
RISA-3D.
Solve
the
model
in
RISAFloor
and
use
the
Director
tool
to
take
the
model
into
RISA-3D.
Apply
the
Seismic
Design…
