Help with Risa-3D

[Miguelrisa3d]

Good morning everyone,

I am just now becoming familiar with Risa.
I had watched the tutorials (which are very helpful), and ofcourse always keeping the "Risa Wood Design Training Manual" next to me.

I have been runnning into some issues when it comes down to getting results. But first of, allow me to let you know what I have done.
I have upload pictures of the truss on a photobucket.com

Here are the links

Please take a look at it and let me know what you think.

Tank you so much for your help.

Hello Miguel,

Have you tried contacting RISA Support? I use them often as we currently have the entire design suite, and they are usually extremely prompt and helpful. However, one of their design engineers is usually patrolling these boards so he may chime in and help you.

Josh Plum can help you with this. Please red-flag this post and repost in the RISA forums section for either the 3D or Floor programs. Don't know which one you have. (Risa Technologies forums here)

I took a few minutes to mess around with it. Check it out. I split the continuous members and changed some boundary conditions. The results are indicating what you would except from a truss. I had to change the species to SP to get the model to work as I didn't have the original grade in my database.

Thank you so much for your help.

I was able to contact RISA (RISA 3D) and worked with them.

We got it to work.
It was very simple.

I just needed to go into my tools menu and click on "Full Model Merge".

Thank you for your replies.

I too have found RISA easy to use and the RISA people very helpful
