Load Combinations

To define load combinations, open the Load Cases and Combinations dialog box. In the "Construction Stages" tab, select all three construction stages. Then, select the "Create combinations according to combination wizard for design checks" check box.

Switch to the "Design Situations" tab. In the "Options" section, click the Edit button to open the Edit Combination Wizard dialog box. There, select the analysis type "Large Deformations | Newton-Raphson" and select the "Consider construction stages only" check box.

In this way, the construction stages are assigned reasonably in the load combinations. For example, LC 8 uses the second construction stage "Shape 2 on Shape 1" as a basis to determine the results of the elements defined in the third construction stage.
