RISA-3D allows users to graphically apply loads to your model with ease. Visualize and change loads by direct selection or in corresponding tables. Automatically generate load combinations or create your own.

Features

• Point, Line, Moment & Surface Loads
• One & Two Way Area Loads
• Uniform/Tapered Wall Loads
• Enforced Joint Displacements
• Plate Thermal Loads

RISA-3D utilizes robust finite element analysis to solve complex models in no time. High-end mesh generation allows users to leverage various submesh routines to refine a model and prepare it for the software's multi-core processing, which enables users to efficiently execute static, dynamic and time history analysis.

Features

• Auto/Quad/Triangle Mesh Elements
• Eigenvalue/Response Spectra Solution
• Create/Import Time History Functions

The flexibility of RISA-3D allows users to to easily create structures with a combination of 1D (beams, columns, braces) and 2D (plates, walls) elements. In addition, the properties and connectivity of each element can be thoroughly controlled in order to provide an accurate representation of true structural behavior, ensuring results are as accurate as possible.

Features

• Tension/Compression/Euler Members
• Partial Fixity End Releases
• Orthotropic Plate Properties
• P-Delta Effects
• Rigid Links & Analysis Offsets

Analyze and design concrete, hot rolled & cold formed steel, masonry, wood and aluminum members and wall panels. Define unbraced lengths, set up section sets and establish criteria for strength and serviceability optimization. Design structures of any type according to the latest international design codes.

With analysis complete, both analytical and design related results are readily available. With the click of a button, users can show color-coded results, deflections and contour plots for any load combination on the entire model. Additional result information is available in corresponding spreadsheets, where users can sort, filter and print only what they need.

Features

• Forces, Deflections and Code Checks
• Animation of model deflections
• Contours with smoothing and animation
• Complete spreadsheet results

Creating comprehensive reports is essential to the completion of every project. That's why the RISA-3D helps you quickly organize and print reports. Easily include spreadsheet output and graphics in order to properly document your design. And with the new detailed reports design verification is straightforward with the inclusion of expandable limit states that show all governing equations.

Features

• Dynamic creation of model graphics
• Step-by-step code-based design limit states for all members
• Comprehensive reports including graphics, tables & detailed reports
