What's New in RISAConnection v15?
RISA is pleased to announce the release of the latest of RISAConnection v15.0. The release of RISAConnection v15.0 incorporates the following enhancements and updates:
Case Study: Designing for Strength at Every Level When a Midwest engineering firm was tasked with designing a 120,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, they knew the challenge wasn’t just about steel and concrete—it was about integration. The structure needed to support overhead cranes, custom conveyor systems, rooftop equipment, and a range of vibration-sensitive machinery. On top of that, the site’s soil profile required deep foundations and a mat slab in high-load zones. Instead of managing this complex design puzzle across multiple platforms, the firm turned to the full RISA Suite—using RISA-3D, RISAFloor, and RISAFoundation in tandem. The result? A seamless, accurate, and time-saving design process that allowed the firm to deliver ahead of schedule. Steel Superstructures Made Simple With RISA-3D, the team quickly modeled the facility’s steel framing system, including built-up columns, multi-bay trusses, and lateral bracing. Loads from the cranes, roof units, and custom mezzanines were easily applied using RISA’s versatile load generator and load combination tools. Key wins: Modeled the entire lateral and gravity system in a single file Ran multiple load scenarios including seismic, crane surge, and equipment-induced vibration Used RISA’s code checks to validate steel member sizing under heavy, variable loads Floor System Integration with RISAFloor With steel…
