1. How can I get my RISA model into STAAD.Pro ?
There is no way to directly get a RISA model into STAAD.Pro. You may check whether RISA can export in the following formats, both of which can be imported by STAAD.Pro.
1. CIS/2
2. 3D DXF
Out of these, the CIS/2 is the best option as it lets you transfer not only the wireframe but other member information like Member properties, Material properties, Member orientation, Member end conditions like Releases, Support conditions, Loading information
3D DXF transfer will let you transfer the wireframe only.
These import options in STAAD.Pro can be accessed from within the top menu File > Import
2. I do not see the option import/export using StrucLink under User Tools section.
There could be few reasons behind this.
1) You must not have installed the StrucLink while installing STAAD.Pro.
2) You may have installed StrckLink sperately, but there is a version mismatch.
To fix it, uninstall STAAD.Pro & any version of StrckLink you may have from Control Panel (Add/Remove Program or Programs and Feathures)
Reinstall STAAD.Pro, for Windows Vista/7/8 operating system, right-click on the .msi./.exe file and select the option "Run as administrator" (though you are logged in as administrator). If you run the file as the local administrator only, the program will not be installed properly. "Run as administrator" option is a must; you may need help from your IT personnel. Ensure that the check box next to the "Install companion product" is checked.
Once installation is done successfully, you should see the following options under "User Tools" section.
