How to Troubleshoot Unsupported Deck Edges
Have you ever received error message 2054 when modeling in RISAFloor?
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…

RISAFloor column results are available in the results spreadsheets, but you may not be aware that you can also graphically review the input and results of columns. To do this you need to customize your toolbar, which is an option available in the Tools menu:
RISAFloor does not record the applied deck in a spreadsheet. To simplify modeling, it instead assumes a default deck is drawn within the entire diaphragm edge. If you have an area that will be a different deck or a different span direction, then you are free to draw in over the default. Whatever is...
