RISA

We were actually able to create a structure today using RISA and evaluate the wind loads on it. I was even able to get a copy of the program for my lab top so I will have it for when I do Statics later in my course work. Its also good to know that I could do these calculations on truss diagrams without the RISA program, but it can certainly do them far faster than I will ever be able. I feel as though this will go a long ways in my future and getting this introduction out of the way now will be incredibly useful.
