Incompatible load combinations
Incompatible load combinations
(OP)
Dear collages from forum,
I have a question: is it possible to define the uncompatibility of two load, previous to the automatic generation of load combinations by the software? I'm calculating a 2d portal frame, and due to the asimmetry, I have to consider two different wind load directions and also two different load crane possitions. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Juan José

RE: Incompatible load combinations
Thank you very much for your response. I think I have a mistake in the title: what I want to say is if is it possible to define that two (or more) loads are uncompatible in the sense that they can't be together in the same combination. For example: wind in both direcctions can't appear as a combination.

RE: Incompatible load combinations
Of course you can do that. First define the load cases, which can be independent, for example wind in a direction, snow, other live loads etc.
This can be done from Define->Load patterns
Then, you can create one or more combinations. In each combination, only the load patterns that are contributing to it will appear.

In fact I don't use this function at all, because in v.14 it doesn't combine SNOW loads acc. to Eurocode.
