Hello everyone,

Can someone help me figure this out? I want to generate automatic load combinations according to Eurocode, is this possible in ETABS or do i have to do this manually,

to be honest i did find this feature but i am not really sure if this is the right way? Why does ETABS categorises load combinations in terms of the building elements
such as concrete frame design, shear wall design and slab design?

Hello.

There is no automatic load generetor for EC in ETABS. You need some additional plugins. Like DAgraph, VIS combinator or EDRMedeso load generator.
 
You can create them once and use them in each of your next models.
