This video shows how to transfer load cases, load combinations, and result combinations to different models using the combination scheme. This may be helpful for large projects where uniform load cases and combinations should be used for all models.
You can use the combination scheme to easily assign load cases and combinations to newly created models at the push of a button.
In the 'Edit Load Cases and Combinations' dialog box, there is an option to automatically generate load and result combinations after selecting the corresponding combination expressions. In this clearly arranged dialog box, it is also possible to copy, add, or renumber load cases, for example.
Furthermore, you can manage the load cases and combinations in Tables 2.1 – 2.6.
The load cases included in the result combinations are calculated first. Then, the results are superimposed by taking into account the corresponding factors. In the result combinations, you can superimpose the results of load cases, load combinations, and other result combinations. Internal forces are added together by default. However, there is the option of a square addition, which is relevant for dynamic analysis.
The load cases included in load combinations are added together and then calculated in consideration of the corresponding factors (partial safety and combination factors, coefficients regarding consequence classes, and so on). The load combinations can be created automatically in compliance with the combination expressions of the standard. The calculation can be performed according to the geometrically linear, second-order, or large deformation or as per the post-critical analysis. Optionally, you can define whether the internal forces should be related to the deformed or non-deformed structure.
The actions are automatically superimposed in accordance with combination expressions and then displayed as "action combinations". It is possible to define which action combinations will eventually be used for the generation of load or result combinations. Based on the created action combinations, you can estimate how the combination expressions affect the number of combinations.
