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.

Integrating RISA with Other Structural Engineering Tools

RISA software is designed to integrate smoothly with essential tools like AutoCAD, Revit, ADAPT, SDS2, Tekla, Archicad, and Excel, making it easier for structural engineers to work efficiently and reduce project costs. By minimizing redundant data entry, improving accuracy, and enhancing collaboration, these integrations help engineers complete projects faster and more economically. Here’s a look at how each integration optimizes workflows: 1. RISA-Revit Link The RISA-Revit Link is designed to help engineers leverage the full power of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This integration offers unlimited, bi-directional data transfers, or “round-tripping,” between Autodesk Revit and RISA-3D, RISAFloor, and RISAConnection. Seamless BIM Model Transfer: Engineers can transfer model geometry, loads, and design parameters effortlessly from Revit to RISA for detailed structural analysis and back again to Revit for project documentation. This minimizes the need for re-entry of data, reducing potential errors. Unlimited Round Tripping: The link enables continuous data syncing, so any updates made in RISA or Revit are reflected in the other program. Whether for initial setup, design revisions, or load recalculations, this connection supports evolving project needs. Support for RISAConnection: The RISA-Revit Link also integrates with RISAConnection, allowing users to manage steel connections within the Revit environment, further enhancing collaboration…

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).
