Load cases and combinations

The model has XNLCASEX "basic" load cases and XNCOMBIX combinations (and of those, XNCOMBILINX are linear), in the active combination set, named "XNAMECOMBISETX". Precisely there are:

 

XNGRAVX gravitational load cases,

XNPERMX permanent (dead) load cases,

XNVARX live load cases,

XNWINDX wind load cases,

XNSNOWX snow load cases,

XNEARTHMX earthquake (modal + response spectrum analysis) load cases,

XNEARTHSX earthquake (equivalent static analysis) load cases,

XNACCX accidental load cases,

XNTHERMX thermal load cases.

 

The following table summarizes some important data referring to the load cases: for the meaning of the symbols used, please refer to the Symbols page.

Here follows the definition of all the load combinations ("L3" stands for "basic load case number 3").
