Property/Stiffness Modifiers
Property/Stiffness Modifiers
(OP)
Does RISA have a way to modify the properties/stiffness of elements? For instance, I need a plate that is calibrated to data. To do this I need to apply and adjustment to to some of the bending and mass properties.
Also, can different thicknesses be applied to membrane and plate bending?
I am fairly new to RISA. I know these things can be done in SAP2000 but I'm afraid this cannot be done in RISA.

And for plates, although I'm less familiar with them, I believe yes when you generate the plate, it asks how thick it is.

If, however, you use a concrete or masonry wall panel (which is just a automated meshing of plate elements) then you can apply a different Icracked factor for in-plane vs out of plane behavior.
