[STAAD] Multiple combinations of load and one analysis - possible?

Multiple combinations of load and one analysis - possible?

Hello,

I've got a question according to multiple load combinations - is it possible to do calculations running solver ONCE, like below:

1. Define all required combined forces - (e.g. 1.4 x dead load, 1.2 x dead load, 0.9 dead load, 1.0 x live load, 1.0 x seismic, etc...);

2. Set somehow which ones should solver analyze simultaneously;

3. Solver saves somehow in the memory results for previous case, steps forward to the second case;

4. In the end of calculations I want to see the most critical case, and then, in this case, all the stresses, displacements etc.

Regards

RE: [STAAD] Multiple combinations of load and one analysis - possible?

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is yes. You can define as many different load cases as needed. Then you can combine these load cases in as many different load combinations as you want for a single analysis run.
