You can now customize the member and nodes names Revit uses during the export to RISA. When you export your Autodesk Revit model to RISA, the member and joint names are automatically altered with “REV” listed in front. This can helpful for you to identify that the model was created in Revit,...
Below is a model of a flat concrete slab made of plates. In order to ensure adequate serviceability of the slab, you may need to check the deflection of the slab between columns. However, RISA-3D only reports Member and Joint Deflections. There is no such thing as a “Plate Deflection”.
RISAFoundation has the ability to export detailed reinforcement drawings for footings, pile caps, pedestals, and slabs.
The Internal Force Summation Tool has the ability to "cut through" elements in the model and produce a summation of forces that corresponds with a given load combination. For this example, we will use the following model and review the summation of forces in the horizontal concrete plates.
The Load Combinations spreadsheet in RISA-3D is limited to ten columns of BLC and Factor combinations. However, there are times where you may need to include additional entries to your Load Combination. To do this, you can simply “nest” your load combinations.
After solution in RISA-3D, you can use Results View Settings to view the Plate Contours graphically on your model.
RISA has now incorporated the tapered member design provisions from Steel Design Guide 25: Frame Design Using Web-Tapered Members written by Richard Kaehler, Don White and Yoon Kuk Kim. These code checking procedures are used whenever the AISC 13th or 14th edition steel codes are selected.
This video shows how slab modifications can used to add an opening or change the thickness of a portion of the slab in RISAFoundation.
This video shows how to import a DXF as a drawing grid in RISAFloor. To do this, you can save any drawing file as a DXF file format and import points, lines, polylines, arcs and circles into RISAFloor. This gives you the ability to create your own drawing grids with complex geometries and use this...
