When it comes to trusses in RISA-3D, boundary condition definitions (pin vs. roller) can make a huge difference. Let’s take an example of a typical roof truss.

This two day training course sponsored by the WoodWorks organization is an in depth training on designing wood structures using RISA software.

When you have a plate model for a slab or wall in RISA-3D, the Internal Force Summation Tool (IFST) is a very useful analysis tool to get exactly the forces that you want to design for.

The two days of comprehensive instruction focuses on RISA’s top-rated software, RISA-3D and RISAFloor, to design wood structures. It’s a must for any engineer designing with wood.

Aluminum has just been added to RISA-2D 10.0. This new Aluminum design allows you to design any shaped model using the Aluminum Design Manual 2005 specification.
