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).

the
improvements
and
corrections

10
