RISA 3D Batch input
RISA 3D Batch input
(OP)
For my job, I frequently have situations which arise with dozens (if not hundreds) of beams with different cross sections/loading/boundary/geometric conditions. In our firm, we use RISA3D. I am trying to find a more systematic way of inputting cross section/loading/boundary/geometric data into RISA3D such that it can analyze and output results for, say, 100 beams without me having to draw out each one. Does RISA3D support some sort of scripting language or commands that allow batch analysis of beams?

But it is funny. Back in the day (not too many decades ago) creating batch files was the only way to go. No pre-processing. Gone full circle!

The spreadsheet idea is very good. I have one comment though, Isn't the limit for RISA3D, as shown in page 2 of the General Reference Manual (http://www.risa.com/documents/risa-3d/R3DGenRef.pd...), currently at 100,000 for plate elements?

The RISA help file has an Appendix D - File Format. This will go over most of the basics of what is expected for each record of the input file.
All the information in this appendix should be accurate, though not necessarily updated for all the latest changes. There will be newer features that are not explained / documented at all. And, there may very well be fields missing in some of the existing features.
For example, we may say that the member data entry has 16 fields when it may actually have 18 fields. If so, the first 16 will be as described in the appendix and the two extra fields will be associated with features or information that was added after the appendix was written.
If you create a file with just those 16 fields the model will read in fine. It just will use default settings for those extra fields... as if the program were opening a file from an older version of the program that didn't contain those fields.
If anyone runs into an issue where they need an explanation of a certain field that isn't fully explained, you should contact tech support and we'll look it up for you.... And, hopefully update the documentation at the same time.

I'm hoping this is just a setting in Windows or RISA3D that I can tweak to fix this? It would be great to also be able to make use of the solutions file...
Thanks y'all

For results, your best option is to print out a "flat file" of the spreadsheet output. This will create an ASCII text file of the all the output spreadsheets that can then imported into Excel or read and manipulated by macros or such.
