1987
was
the
year
President
Reagan
told
Gorbachev
to
“tear
down
this
wall”
and
the
New
York
Giants
won
their
first
Super
Bowl.
Whitney
Houston’s
“I
Wanna
Dance
with
Somebody”
and
The
Bangles’
“Walk
Like
an
Egyptian”
topped
the
charts.
While
Pope
John
Paul
II’s
visit
to
Los
Angeles
drew
national
attention,
the
engineering
world
was
also
getting
exciting
news
out
of
Southern
California.
RISA
was
founded
there
in
September
1987.
For
nearly
four
decades,
RISA
has
partnered
with
engineers
to
turn
vision
into
structure.
RISA-2D
started
it
all,
offering
a
simplified
and
straightforward
software
for
the
analysis
and
design
of
2D
structures.
Today,
that
foundation
has
grown
into
a
family
of
10
products
that
support
engineers
throughout
the
design
process
from
a
single
steel
connection
to
a
multi-story,
post-tensioned
concrete
building.
Through
every
stage
of
our
company’s
growth,
RISA’s
focus
has
remained
the
same:
put
the
engineer
first.
RISA
develops
practical
software
with
intuitive
interfaces
and
efficient
workflows,
helping
engineers
spend
less
time
on
redundant
tasks
and
more
time
applying
their
expertise
to
complex
design
challenges.
We
are
grateful
to
the
engineers
who
have
been
part
of
the
RISA
journey.
Your
trust,
feedback,
and
challenging
projects
have
helped
shape…
