Defining loadcases and combinations

The "General data" menu at the top of the page contains the following options, which are used to define the loadcases and combinations of the job.

Edit loadcase

Used to define the simple loadcases in the installation.

To do this, elements are entered into the list and their names are typed in.

After defining the loadcases, consumptions can be assigned to each of them via "Nodes", "Edit calculation data". The coefficients corresponding to the scenario combinations must also be defined from the "Edit loadcases," option in the "General data".

Edit combinations

Used to define the combinations of loadcases.

To do this, enter elements in the list on the left and enter their names. Then, in the right-hand list, the combination coefficients assigned to each loadcase in the selected combination are indicated as a percentage of one.

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

The program also has a utility to automatically create "Time combinations" indicating a certain "Number of intervals" together with the "Duration of each interval" from a "Start date". By activating the "Consider only the time" option, only the time, and not the date, is incorporated in the reference of the generated combinations.
