ADAPT-Builder v21.0.1 includes the option to import reactions from a RISA-3D model. The program will import the superstructure reactions and loading as point and line loads. The B3D Import Wizard allows you to choose which load cases to import and gives you the ability to map the loads to existing...
In ADAPT-Builder v21.0.1 the Colorize Grid has been improved to allow for the coloring of loads. You can colorize point loads, line loads, and area loads. For area loads the colorize grid offers a load intensity map to show the total applied load in a given area per load case. For point loads the...
ADAPT-Builder has historically been hard coded to design reinforcement for strength load combinations to a maximum demand/capacity ratio of 1.0. However, clients have expressed the want to be able to have the program reinforce to a user defined maximum DCR. ADAPT-Builder v21.0.1 includes the option...
