What's New in RISAConnection v15.0.1?
RISA is pleased to announce the release of the latest of RISAConnection v15.0.1. The release of RISAConnection v15.0.1 incorporates the following enhancements and updates:
In the realm of construction and architecture, the role of structural engineers and draftsmen has undergone significant transformation. Traditionally, structural engineers and draftsmen worked in somewhat separate spheres, with draftsmen focusing on detailed drawings and engineers concentrating on structural integrity and calculations. However, the advent of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has brought these disciplines closer together, fostering a more integrated approach to design and construction. The Traditional Divide Historically, draftsmen were responsible for producing detailed technical drawings based on the structural engineer's specifications. This often led to a disconnect between the conceptual and practical aspects of the design. Engineers would provide the necessary calculations and specifications, which draftsmen would then translate into detailed plans and blueprints. This linear process, while effective, sometimes led to inefficiencies and errors due to miscommunication or misunderstandings. The BIM Revolution Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents a paradigm shift in how design and construction projects are managed. BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a project. It is more than just a 3D model; it integrates various data sources and provides a collaborative platform for all stakeholders involved in a project. For structural engineers and draftsmen, BIM has revolutionized their working…

RISAFloor now includes the ability to design web openings (with and without reinforcement) for steel and composite steel beams according to the AISC design code. To learn more, view the video below. For more information about web opening design in RISAFloor, search Web Openings in the RISAFloor...
Version 20.0.2 allows users to integrate models between RISA-3D and SDS2, including model geometry, members sizes and end reactions.
RISAFloor Version 16 provides engineers the ability to analyze and design hot rolled steel WT and LL shapes. This functionality was previously implemented in RISA-3D and will allow users greater flexibility when designing their steel structures. Additionally, WT and LL shapes can be specified and...
Engineers choose RISA-3D and RISAFloor for the design of all types of steel structures. As a result, we are constantly improving the software and its acceptance of various types of design elements and materials. The latest improvement includes back-to-back hot rolled steel channels which are now...
The ability to design buckling restrained braced frames has been added to RISA-3D when you integrate your model from RISAFloor. In collaboration with CoreBrace, this new feature came as part of the release of RISA-3D v19.0.0 and RISAFloor v15.0.0.
RISAConnection Version 12 now supports skewed shear tab connections. With this enhancement, engineers have the option to skew a wide flange, a tapered wide flange or a channel beam with the following supporting members:
