Description
Free text to describe the load case.
Type
The type of load. Dependent on the type of load, standard combination factors (frequent / quasi-permanent value) psi0, psi1, and psi2 are determined according to the Eurocode.
These combination factors are offered as a standard by entering the load combinations. However, these values can be adapted.
Automatically two load combinations are generated: Permanent and variable loads.
Automatically Generate Combinations
When you enter/change load combinations, the load combinations are automatically generated. You can also change these combinations and expand them.
Permanent Load Favorable
Extra ULS load combinations are generated in which the load factor for the permanent load is 0.90.
Table
Load cases can also be added/changed in the Load Cases table. You can also right-click the table to send it to Excel for bulk editing — see Send to Excel / Retrieve from Excel. The Excel Load type column has a dropdown of all available load types.
