About Us
RISA-3D includes material specific checkboxes on the Design tab of the Load Combinations spreadsheet that allow you to define the load combinations that shall be checked for members of different materials.
Therefore, when you have a multi-material model, you can generate two sets of Load Combinations (Service and Strength) then customize which should be used for each material that you have used in your model.

The base material at the location of a weld may have less strength than the weld itself. In this case it will control the overall strength of the...
In RISAFloor (and RISA-3D), the entire NDS species list is available as well as glulam materials but you may need to design a wood product that is...
