Editing loadcases

This allows you to define the basic parameters of the installation.

To do this, add items to the list and type in their names.

Once the loadcases have been defined, loads can be assigned to each one via the "Nodes", "Edit analysis data" option. The coefficients corresponding to the loadcase combinations must also be defined via the "General data", "Edit combinations" option.

Edit combinations

This allows you to define combinations of loadcases.

To do this, elements are added to the left-hand list and their names are entered. Then, in the right-hand list, the combination coefficients (expressed as fractions) assigned to each loadcase in the selected combination are indicated.

The loadcases must have been entered previously via "General data", "Edit loadcases".

The program also includes a feature for automatically creating "Time combinations" by specifying a particular "Number of intervals" and the "Duration of each interval" from a "Start date". If you select the "Only consider the time" option, only the time—and not the date—is included in the reference for the generated combinations.
