RISASection is a general-purpose built-up section properties calculator program. This program has been developed to make the definition and calculation of built up sections as fast and easy as possible.
The sections that you create will be made up of individual basic shapes. You may double-click or drag-and-drop these shapes from the shape library onto the workspace where you build the overall section. You may then use the drawing grid to reposition and resize the basic shapes to achieve the desired cross section. Alternatively, you may import a more complicated shape directly from your DXF file and then build upon it, or use it to import into RISA-2D, RISA-3D, or RISAFloor for design in your analysis model.
The properties of the section may be continuously updated as you edit and refine your section. Once you are satisfied with your section, you may build a report for printing.
