Simpson Strong-Tie®Yield-Link® Moment Connection Available in RISA-3D
The release of RISA-3D Version 19 includes the introduction of Yield-Link® Moment Connections, developed in conjunction with Simpson Strong-Tie®.
When using the Distance tool in RISA-3D, the program outputs Rxz, Rzy, Ryz. These angles represent the angle the Distance Tool line makes with respect to the each respective plane. Rxy represents the angle the distance line makes with respect to the XY plane. The Rxy, Rxz and Ryz angles refer to the angles for a member with respect to each 2-D plane defined by xyz. For instance, Angle Rxz refers to the angle between the member and the xz plane, i.e., angle between the member and its projection to xz plane. In the example below, we are interested in determining the Rxy angle. If we apply the software's theory to member M1, and project the member onto the XY plane, we can determine the angle the member makes with respect to the XY plane:…

RISAConnection v11 now includes the ability to design Column to Beam Column Cap Flange Plate Moment Connections according to AISC 360. This widely requested feature allows users to define the beam as a wide flange and the column as either a wide flange, tapered wide flange or HSS tube. To begin,...
Wide Flange beam to HSS Tube column moment connections can now be designed in RISAConnection version 9 with both the US and Canadian design standards. HSS tubes may be selected as the supporting column member on either of the two moment connections:
Wide Flange Beam to HSS Tube Column Moment Connections can now be designed in RISAConnection version 9. HSS tubes may be selected as the supporting column member on either of the two moment connections:
RISAConnection v8 now offers weak axis moment connections with beams framing into the web of a wide flange column. Previously, connections were only permitted to frame into the column flange. This additional feature will allow users to change the orientation of their wide flange column.
