Load Combinations in ANSYS Mechanical v13
Load Combinations in ANSYS Mechanical v13
(OP)
Does anyone knows how can I apply a Load Combination in Ansys.
Say, I have assigned a list of different loads (including Load Steps and Sub-steps) and then I need to select and make a combination of them, multiply by a safety factor, and then run the analysis. Similar to what the structural oriented programs do.
Thank you very much

Are you trying to do load superposition?
RE: Load Combinations in ANSYS Mechanical v13
I'm using ANSYS Mechanical APDL and actually I am having problems with creating and saving the load combinations (envelop), so I can call them in every time I need them. I need to do hundreds of them and incrementally apply safety factors.
I know how to use the Load Steps methods but it seems far too complicated for this Reinforced Concrete structure. I need to able to just call them on and off any time....
I was also told that I have to do superposition but I do not really know how this is working...
any ideas???
thank you again

I will try it but I am pretty sure that I need to write a script, which is something I will do for first time. I need to do a short of optimization study...so ANSYS decides which is the worst case scenario.
Does anyone knows about scripting in ANSYS?
Thank you again!
