In RISAFloor, how does one move or copy a beam?

When will RISA Foundation data be imported into Revit? What are the current work-around methods?

Thank you for your quick response!

Does RISAFoundation calculate the moment on a pile due to lateral load? I see shear, compression and tension in the pile design check, but no moment check.

That rather defeats the purpose of using RISAFloor in this case if one has to re-model the composite members and the floor diaphragm in RISA-3D. RISAFloor calculates the member's composite section properties, so, why not transfer that information into RISA-3D?

The problem with that is the member's composite section properties do not get transfered into RISA-3D, so, the code checks are performed on a non-composite member.

This is a uniform change in temperature, creating axial forces in the members.

Using RISAFloor and/or RISA3D, how does one apply a thermal load to a composite beam?

How can one import a .dxf file into an existing RISAFloor model, and have the new information placed onto an existing floor level? Also, is there a way to merge different floors at the same elevation into a single floor?

It's a pretty simple model. The beams aren't skewed or sloping. The load is a simple uniform distributed. There are no rigid links or diaphragms. I'm using RISA-3D version 8.1.3. The file is attached... The original framing system used rigid members for beams and steel for the girders. I...

Why would a simple span, uniformly loaded (on one axis only) beam using 'rigid' member section properties have torsion? Since RISA-3D does not have joist section properties available I used rigid members instead, and noticed that the shear and moment diagrams for the beams supporting the joists...

Yeah, that was my point; the reactions can only be displayed, not accessed. Having to look at the display and manually input each value (and not knowing the reaction spacing) for each load case would take a tremendous amount of time. Is there a better way to access these reactions so they can...

RISA 3d can display a masonry wall's base reaction at intervals along it's length, but where is the spreadsheet with this information? The joint reactions spreadsheet provides only the total value. Having access to these reactions would be tremendously helpful for designing wall footings.

When will RISABase be linked with RISA-3D?

Is there a way to click (or keystroke+click) on the beams to edit their properties? Editing via the spreadsheet is incredibly cumbersome by comparison.
