(OP)
Hello friends, I would like to know which the form simplest to be made the combinations of loads in a structure of more or less automatic form in Sap2000. The ideal would be to introduce the loads and safety factors and that of automatic form were combined to obtain the envelopes. Thanks beforehand. A greeting

If you work in linear, i'd run as many analysis cases as i need, then i'd define Combos entering the cases and the safety factors you need, linear adding a case to another.

Do. Or do not.
There is no try...

You can export the load cases and load combination tables to Excel and File menu> Import the Excel file for models that are applicable for that set of loads and load combinations which you have saved. Assuming you have a SAP version recent enough (version 8 or newer I think) to have the database tables.
