RISA-3D allows users to graphically apply loads to your model with ease. Visualize and change loads by direct selection or in corresponding tables. Automatically generate load combinations or create your own.

Features:

• Point, Line, Moment & Surface Loads
• One & Two Way Area Loads
• Uniform/Tapered Wall Loads
• Enforced Joint Displacements
• Plate Thermal Loads

RISA-3D delivers powerful finite element analysis capable of solving complex structural models quickly and accurately. Advanced mesh generation tools allow users to refine their models with automated submesh routines, while multi-core processing efficiently handles static, dynamic, and time history analysis.

Features

• Auto/Quad/Triangle Mesh Elements
• Eigenvalue & Response Spectra Analysis
• Time History Function Creation & Import
• P-Delta Effects
• Rigid Links & Analysis Offsets

RISA-3D provides comprehensive design capabilities for concrete, hot-rolled and cold-formed steel, masonry, wood, and aluminum members and wall panels. Engineers can define unbraced lengths, manage section sets, and establish strength and serviceability criteria to optimize designs according to the latest international codes.

Features

• Multi-Material Design 
• Wood Shear Wall Design
• Seismic Design
• Cold-Formed Steel Wall Design
• Strength & Serviceability Optimization
  

Once analysis is complete, RISA-3D makes it easy to visualize and evaluate results with color-coded graphics, deflection animations, and contour plots for load combinations. Detailed analytical and design data is accessible through sortable, filterable spreadsheets, enabling engineers to review exactly what they need.

Features

• Forces, Deflections and Code Checks
• Animation of Model Deflections
• Contours with Smoothing and Animation
• Complete Spreadsheet Results
• Dynamic Creation of Model Graphics
