STAAD Pro v8i - how to use moving load generator in load combinations?
STAAD Pro v8i - how to use moving load generator in load combinations?
(OP)
Neigh,
I'm running basically a line girder problem in 2D. I've used MOVING LOAD GENERATOR to create 1000+ load combinations - 1 ft increments across my 1000ft bridge. I can't figure out how to use envelope values in any meaningful way, including in user-defined load combinations. Is this possible? If not, I don't see how STAAD can be of any use for bridge analysis/design.
Thank you,
Horsebridge

I think what I did was create load combinations manually on the edit list. The load combinations will then include your moving load cases. But for 1ft increments of a 1000ft bridge, this workaround would take quite a bit of time.
Contact STAAD tech support. I've found them to be very helpful and are usually quick to respond.

Maybe this will help. Good luck.
