EXAMPLE 2: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 44 So, if you have dynamics enabled, clicking on "default combinations" will populate the table with the combinations provided by EC8 for dynamics as shown in the image above. To automatically generate the program and the combinations for the additional loads (snow, wind x, wind z) you have to select from the 3 failure equations and the 3 functionality equations located in the top right part of the window. The predefined combinations refer to seismic scenarios. To create combinations of scenarios that do not contain an earthquake, both automatic and manual modes are available. The automatic mode assumes that the automatic procedure for the calculation and distribution of wind and snow loads, the automatic generation of the loads and combinations (see Chapter 3.2) has been carried out beforehand.
