RISA-3D Version 19 now includes the ability to define the plate methodology of a material as orthotropic. In structural analysis and design, it may be useful to define plates or slabs that have different characteristics (stiffness) in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Doing so will result...
A number of improvements have been made to solid elements in RISA-3D v19 allowing users enhanced flexibility in viewing input data as well as evaluating results associated with solid elements.
The AISC 341-16 and AISC 358-16 Edition changes have been implemented into RISA-3D v19.
The new ACI 318-19 code has been implemented into RISA-3D v19, RISAFloor v15, and RISAFoundation v13. One of the biggest changes between the ACI 318-14 code and the ACI 318-19 code is the shear contribution provided by the concrete, Vc.
Recent tests and analytical results for concrete columns have indicated that considering shear along each centroidal axis independently can be unconservative. Therefore current versions of RISA-3D, RISAFloor and RISAFoundation have included the consideration for the interaction of shear forces...
The Quick Start Course is a 4-hour introduction to the basic features and functionality of RISA-3D that utilizes expert instruction and example models to familiarize users with the user interface as well as the main workflow of modeling, loading, analyzing, designing and documenting a model in...
Watch the recording of our webinar to learn how new versions of RISA-3D, RISAFloor, RISAFoundation and RISAConnection provide users with expanded design capabilities, improved product integration and new features including:
If you have utilized Hold-Down's in RISA-3D, you have mostly likely noticed that a value of CD is reported for each selection in the database. However, it may not be clear how it is being used?
In the Node Reaction spreadsheet, all reactions from node-based boundary conditions are reported. If you look closely at some models, there may be wall panel labels in the Node Reactions spreadsheet as well. This may cause users to ask the question:”what are these reaction values for a...
