What's New in RISAConnection v14.0.1?
RISA is pleased to announce the release of the latest of RISAConnection v14.0.1. The release of RISAConnection v14.0.1 incorporates the following enhancements and updates:
When working with RISA-3D, a structural analysis and design software, it's essential to thoroughly review your model to ensure accuracy and reliability. This checklist will guide you through the critical steps to review your RISA-3D model before analysis and design. This guide is not all encompassing for every type of model and situation and therefore are recommendations only. While this guide is not all encompassing, it is a really good start for those new to RISA-3D but also can be used to create or expand your company's review guideline/standards. Check out our guide below. Check Code Compliance: Review and confirm that the appropriate design codes and standards are selected for your project. Ensure that all code-specific settings and parameters are correctly configured, such as load factors and material properties. Units: Verify that the units used in your model match the units required for your project specifications. Check that length, force, and other units are consistent throughout the model. Application Settings: Examine machine-specific application settings and adjust them as needed for your project. Check/uncheck settings such as: Lock isolated rotational instabilities without notification. Enforce code RECOMMENDED slenderness limits (KL/r > 200, etc). Enforce code required P-Delta analysis. Section Sets Ensure that…

RISA is pleased to announce the release of the latest of RISAConnection v14.0.1. The release of RISAConnection v14.0.1 incorporates the following enhancements and updates:
The new Beam over Column connection in RISAConnection Version 14 provides engineers with an additional connection design capability. Columns can be Wide Flange or HSS Tubes or Pipes. For more information about this new connection, check out the video below:
The AISC 341-16 and AISC 358-16 Edition changes have been implemented into RISAConnection v13.
The new connection details view, and defaults viewer in RISAConnection Version 13 provides engineers with enhanced control over individual connection configurations, streamlining the definition process and saving time. For more information about these improvements, check out the video below:
RISAConnection Version 13 now includes the ability to define vertical diagonal brace extended shear tab connections both with and without the use of gusset plates. This connection type was highly requested by users due to its usefulness in a variety of situations. For more information about this...
Member Configuration The connection rule must be applied to both sides of the splice (either beam to beam or column to column)
Member Configuration The connection rule must be applied at the end of the beam (not the column).
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...
Member Configuration The connection rule must be applied at the end of the beam (not the continuous girder).
