I am about to purchase RISA 3D v14 and wish to check with current users (prior to purchase) on the following:

1) confirm that for the US$4,000 purchase price it includes access to ALL of the below listed codes;

2) ease, or otherwise, to switch codes, beit different country codes, or different year issue of codes.​

Thanks.

Once you purchase a license there is no restrictions on using all functionality o the program. Switching codes is dead simple in the program. Just a matter of changing the drop down box.
 
That looks right to me.... Though I'm not at the office right now to confirm 100%. There really aren't any add on code modules for RISA-3D. When you buy the program you get the whole program, nothing left out.

There are other programs we sell for other markets. RISAFloor / RISAFloor ES for commercial building floor layouts (composite beams, deflection optimization, flat plate floor slabs, et cetera), RISAFoundation for foundation systems, RISAConnection for steel connection design. But, within the context of a general purpose analysis program, RISA-3D doesn't have any "added costs" for extra codes or analysis features or such.


 
Thanks jayrod12 and JoshPlum.

JAE, it was the weekend and I needed the info ASAP. But I did call customer service/support and they were very helpful.

Now a RISA-3D user. And a happy one.
