RISAFloor, RISA-3D, and Revit can export connection rule and loading information to streamline the design process for a project with numerous connections. This process helps to quickly create connections with the member shape, geometry, and loading information from the original program.
RISAConnection v7.0.1 includes the option for customized loading in an integrated RISAConnection model. If you have used RISA-3D or RISAFloor to export connection rules for design in RISAConnection, they also exported over the forces per the solved load combinations.
This video tutorial will show you how to design a base plate in RISAConnection for both gravity and lateral loads. You can automatically transfer your column end forces from RISAFloor or RISA-3D into RISAConnection.
RISAConnection v7 recently added a new Knee Brace (Kicker Brace) connection type. This connection can be designed at the brace to column or brace to beam.
RISAConnection v7 now allows both Transverse Column Flange Stiffeners and Column Web Doublers to be applied to Beam to Column Moment Connections.
RISAConnection now offers the ability to use a wide flange brace member in Vertical Brace Connections.
RISAConnection v6 has added HSS tubes and pipes for Diagonal and Chevron Brace Connections. Users can now model an HSS column in the Diagonal Brace Connection and an HSS beam in the Chevron Brace connection. Diagonal Brace Connection A column can be specified as a tube or pipe for the Diagonal...
RISAConnection now offers the ability to enter an eccentric work point for the braces on a Vertical Brace Chevron Connection.
RISAConnection now offers connection design per the Canadian CSA S16-2014 design code.
