Auto load combinations

Create auto-generated load combinations in greenStrip and greenPad.

To create auto-generated load combinations in greenStrip and greenPad:

  1. From the "Loads" section, create your load combinations automatically by pressing the "Auto-generated" option.
  2. Choose the limit states for which the load combinations should be generated.
  3. You can use the default partial factors or customize them, and define your terrain surface loads.
  4. From here, press "Add Load Case" to add your loads. Give them a name, choose whether they are permanent, imposed, snow or wind loads. Fill in the vertical and horizontal loads, moments and eccentricities.
    1. For certain load types, such as imposed loads, you can define the relevant subcategory.
  5. As the load cases are added, the combinations are created instantly.
  6. The load combination names and durations can be adjusted, as well as the factors, and they can be reverted to the automatic values.
  7. Finally, the design loads are immediately calculated!
