Where Vision Becomes Structure

Deep practical experience and understanding of structural engineering combined with the ability to create and support cutting-edge software is why 24 of the 25 top design firms in the country have turned to RISA for structural design software since 1987. RISA’s suite of solutions ensure safety and efficiency while also enabling innovation in the design of structures large and small in more than 70 countries around the world. RISA is part of the Nemetschek Group and their collection of best-in-class brands that cover the life-cycle of buildings from design and visualization through construction and building management. Headquartered in Foothill Ranch, CA, RISA has a global workforce.

RISA Products

RISA products are customer focused, meaning they are developed by engineers with design experience who know and understand the structural engineering process. This allows to ensure that each feature is implemented with the needs of the customer in mind. Additionally, the RISA team of knowledgeable and experienced professional engineers, are focused on providing industry leading technical support, ensuring that all customers get the answers they need as quickly as possible.

More and more, structures are becoming exceedingly complex requiring an added level of precision in model creation and management. As a result, RISA promotes a separation of tasks in order to streamline the modeling process with tools catered to exactly what the customer needs to create. Whether for modeling columns, connections, foundations or entire floor systems, RISA ensures that every structure is built properly.

Whether designing floors, lateral systems, foundations, connections or individual components, the individual design information and results (model data, member end forces, reactions) from one RISA software can be leveraged in another allowing the user to save time, avoid mistakes and maximize coordination.

risa works seamlessly with archicad, sds2, autodesk and tekla

Interoperability isn’t just for architects anymore. As engineers, RISA employees are being asked to participate in collaborative, model based workflows on a regular basis. That’s why RISA gives the ability to exchange model information with architectural design packages like Archicad and Revit, while also improving coordination downstream with detailing software such as SDS2 and Tekla Structures.
