Halloween isn’t just for candy and costumes—it’s the perfect time to test your spooky engineering skills! We’ve brewed up a Halloween-themed RISA Jeopardy game, packed with fun, easy questions about our software. Tip for readers: Try to answer before revealing the “treat” below each question!
While members (beams and columns) follow conventions tied to their local axes, interpreting results for wall panels, plate elements, and design strips requires a slightly different perspective. These elements deal with both in-plane and out-of-plane behavior, and the sign conventions can change...
RISA software products use different sign conventions depending on the product’s purpose and typical use case. While the conventions are logical within each program, they may appear inconsistent when moving between tools like RISA-3D, RISAFloor, RISAFoundation, and RISAConnection. This article...
Exploring a new structural design software purchase? If you’ve ever wondered how RISA’s software could fit into your structural design workflow, a RISA Software Tour is the fastest way to find out—no guesswork, no canned presentations. In this free, 1-hour session, you’ll meet 1-on-1 with a RISA...
Integrating structural models from RISA to Revit seamlessly can sometimes present challenges, especially when it comes to creating and reviewing your Revit analytical model accurately. In this support article, we'll delve into the process of modifying you Revit's graphical view of your Analytical...
RISAFloor has four different deck types: concrete, composite, metal, and wood. When it comes to composite decks, there is a predefined Composite Deck definition already setup in the Deck Definitions spreadsheet. You can also specify a composite deck by (1) setting up your deck configuration using...
Integrating structural models from RISA to Revit seamlessly can sometimes present challenges, especially when it comes to importing shapes accurately. Unlike RISA, Revit operates on a different system, requiring users to preload family shapes for drawing or importing purposes. In this support...
