RISA Technologies, LLC is bringing our popular structural engineering training courses to your area.
Overview
In addition to verbal instruction, each class uses a number of real-world examples to illustrate and clarify each concept as it is being taught. Many of the example models will be built in class to help participants learn and remember the concepts. Please feel free to call us with any particular questions regarding these classes. Each participant will receive the class notes, example problems on disk, a certificate of completion and 8 PDH per training day.
RISA-3D Regional Training
Day 1
Basics of Structural Modeling
Covers modeling basics such as boundary conditions, local versus global direction loads, member orientation definition, member end releases and offsets, AISC and NDS code checking and shape database editing. Also provides basic training in the use of RISA-3D, with an emphasis on effective use of our graphic tools to manipulate the model including drawing and editing. Spreadsheet operations, cutting and pasting, and efficient results review will round out the day for this course.
Day 2
Advanced Structural Modeling
Provides an in-depth discussion of the RISA-3D plate finite element and how to use it effectively. Also covered is slave nodes, automatic rigid diaphragm modeling (strengths and weaknesses), moving loads, tension/compression only members and springs and the analysis and design of tapered members. Attention will be given to the use of the graphic methods of modeling and results review.
