EXAMPLE 2. FORMAL STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 2: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 45 Subject to the above conditions, it is possible to create the wind and snow combinations automatically using the command. So, after first running the earthquake scenario and all the static wind and snow scenarios, with the earthquake scenario active, select the "Combinations" command. The combinations of the active scenario are automatically filled in. To automatically create the other combinations (wind and snow) press the button . The coefficients of the wind and snow scenarios are automatically filled in, providing a complete file of combinations of all the study loads. Select to save it to use it for sizing. By following the manual way you can: By selecting the "Predefined Combinations" command, the program will enter the combinations related to the active analysis scenario 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.
