RISA-Revit Link is a bi-directional integration between Autodesk Revit and RISA structural analysis products (RISA-3D, RISAFloor, RISAConnection) that enables unlimited round-trip transfers of geometry, loads, and design parameters during structural engineering workflows.

Structural engineers working in Autodesk Revit can send analytical models directly to RISA-3D, RISAFloor, or RISAConnection for code-compliant analysis and design. The link supports unlimited round-trip data exchange, so geometry updates, load changes, and member resizing flow back and forth without manual rebuilds (RISA, 2026).

Data transferred from Revit includes beams, columns, braces, walls, slabs, material properties, boundary conditions, and load combinations. RISAConnection support extends this to shear connections, splices, and moment connections, which means steel detailing teams can coordinate connection design within the same data loop (RISA, 2024).

Color-coded analytical node filters in Revit help engineers verify model connectivity before export, catching unconnected or misaligned nodes that would otherwise produce analysis errors. RISA publishes a checklist for reviewing the analytical model prior to transfer (RISA, 2024).

Version 26 is the current release. The add-in runs on Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and requires matching RISA product versions as listed in the release notes.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Unlimited round-trip transfers eliminate manual re-entry between BIM and analysis.
  • Covers RISA-3D, RISAFloor, and RISAConnection in one add-in.
  • Analytical node filters catch connectivity errors before export.
  • Supports loads, boundary conditions, and design parameters, not just geometry.

Cons

  • Requires matching RISA product versions per the release notes compatibility matrix.
  • Pricing is bundled with RISA subscriptions; no standalone list price published.
  • Windows-only; no macOS or Linux support.
  • Limited to RISA analysis products; does not connect to third-party solvers.

Key features

  • Unlimited round-tripping: Transfers geometry, loads, and design parameters between Revit and RISA products with no limit on iterations.

  • RISA-3D exchange: Syncs units, material properties, nodes, boundary conditions, members, plates, and load combinations.

  • RISAFloor exchange: Moves floor information, beams, physical columns, walls, decks, slabs, openings, and project grids.

  • RISAConnection support: Manages beam-to-column shear connections, splices, and moment connections within the Revit environment.

  • Analytical node review: Color-coded connectivity filters in Revit highlight unconnected nodes before export to RISA.

  • Multi-product compatibility: Works with RISA-3D, RISAFloor, and RISAConnection from a single Revit session.

Frequently asked questions

What RISA products does RISA-Revit Link work with?

The link connects Autodesk Revit to RISA-3D, RISAFloor, and RISAConnection. Each product exchanges different data: RISA-3D handles general structural analysis, RISAFloor handles floor systems, and RISAConnection handles steel connections.

Is RISA-Revit Link included with a RISA subscription?

RISA sells the link as part of its subscription packages. No standalone price is published on the marketing site. Contact RISA sales or check the portal for current licensing options.

Can I round-trip models more than once between Revit and RISA?

Yes. The link supports unlimited round-trip transfers. You can iterate member sizes, update loads, and sync changes as many times as needed during design.

What data does RISA-Revit Link transfer from Revit?

Transferred data includes structural geometry (beams, columns, braces, walls, slabs), material properties, boundary conditions, load categories, load combinations, and design parameters. RISAConnection adds shear connections, splices, and moment connections.

Does RISA-Revit Link work on macOS?

No. The link requires Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit). Both Autodesk Revit and RISA products are Windows-only applications.

What version of Revit is supported by RISA-Revit Link v26?

Version 26 is the current release. Specific Revit version compatibility and minimum RISA product versions are documented in the release notes PDF available on the RISA website.

How do I check analytical model connectivity before using RISA-Revit Link?

Revit supports analytical node filters that color-code connection status (connected, manual, unconnected). RISA publishes a checklist for reviewing the analytical model, available as a downloadable PDF from its blog.
