Integration between RISA-3D and SDS2
Version 20.0.2 allows users to integrate models between RISA-3D and SDS2, including model geometry, members sizes and end reactions.
The 4th of July is a time for celebration, fireworks, and, of course, a bit of fun. For those with a knack for engineering or simply looking to engage in some creative activities, why not take on some patriotic engineering challenges? These activities are perfect for kids and adults alike, providing an entertaining way to celebrate Independence Day while sharpening your problem-solving skills. Here are three exciting challenges to get you started: 1. Popsicle Stick Bridge Materials Needed: Popsicle sticks Glue (wood glue or a hot glue gun) Small weights (coins, toy cars, etc.) Challenge: Design and build a small bridge using only popsicle sticks and glue. The goal is to create a bridge that can support as much weight as possible. This activity not only tests your creativity but also your understanding of structural integrity and load distribution. Instructions: Plan Your Design: Before you start gluing, sketch out a design for your bridge. Consider different types of bridges, such as beam, truss, or arch bridges. Build the Foundation: Begin by constructing the main supports for your bridge. Glue several popsicle sticks together side by side for a strong base. Assemble the Bridge: Connect the supports with horizontal and diagonal…

Version 20.0.2 allows users to integrate models between RISA-3D and SDS2, including model geometry, members sizes and end reactions.
ADAPT-Builder v21.0.1 includes the option to import reactions from a RISA-3D model. The program will import the superstructure reactions and loading as point and line loads. The B3D Import Wizard allows you to choose which load cases to import and gives you the ability to map the loads to existing...
One of the advantages of the RISA Building System is the ability to utilize and share model information (geometry, loading, etc.) between software packages. One such way, is the ability to define hot-rolled steel connections in RISAFloor and/or RISA-3D and then transfer them to RISAConnection for...
RISAFloor, RISA-3D, and Revit can export connection rule and loading information to streamline the design process for a project with numerous connections. This process helps to quickly create connections with the member shape, geometry, and loading information from the original program.
RISAConnection v7.0.1 includes the option for customized loading in an integrated RISAConnection model. If you have used RISA-3D or RISAFloor to export connection rules for design in RISAConnection, they also exported over the forces per the solved load combinations.
RISAConnection version 6.0 has introduced the ability to design vertical brace connections per the seismic design provisions of the AISC 341-10 Seismic Design Manual.
