Podium Building Design Software
Fully Integrated Workflow for
Podium Building Design
Podium buildings are becoming increasingly prevalent with the increased need for multi-story mixed use and multi-family residential structures. These structures are traditionally difficult to design due to a segmented, multi-material workflow. RISA now provides users the ability to design the entire structure in one seamless process, where analysis results from the upper structure in RISAFloor/RISA-3D can be transferred directly to ADAPT-Builder for the design of the concrete podium.
Advantages to using RISA + ADAPT
for Podium Building Design.
Modeling Wood Buildings in RISAFloor
Perform multi-story wood or CFS building design including shear walls, flexible wood diaphragms and specialty wood products (glulam, LVL, joists) in RISAFloor/RISA-3D
Importing Reactions into ADAPT-Builder
from RISA-3D
Directly import superstructure model reactions from RISA-3D into ADAPT-Builder, creating a more efficient workflow.
Transform Elements from DWG in ADAPT-Builder
Easily create single-level or multi-level concrete and post-tensioned podium structures using ADAPT-Builder.
Concrete Column Code Checks in ADAPT-Builder
Design vertical concrete elements such as concrete columns and shear walls directly in ADAPT-Builder using current ACI design codes.
Seamless Integration with RISAFloor & Revit
Leverage BIM model information from Autodesk Revit or transform imported geometry from AutoCAD to easily create geometry in RISAFloor and/or ADAPT-Builder
