7. LOADS

CHAPTER 7 "CARGOES" 10 After entering the values of the loads, press the "Insert" button . Automatically, in the field to the left of the "Insert" button, the name of the load and group for the loads you have just entered is displayed . (Lc=1: Load 1/Lg=1: Group 1). Then, you define the mobile loads and by pressing the "Insert" button, the name of the load and the group for the loads you have just entered is displayed (Lc=2: Load 2/Lg=1: Group 1). OBSERVATION: Only after selecting the "Applybutton the loads will be applied to the active level plates. " Insert " simply inserts them into the list of those to be applied by pressing the " Apply " button. • When you enter the loads for the first time, and select Apply , the loadings in the list will be applied to all plates. • However, if you have already entered some loads, by selecting the "Apply" button, any loads you have entered will be replaced by the loads of the loadings available in the window. EXAMPLE 1: Suppose you have already entered the permanent and mobile loads for all the plates. If you enter new values for the permanent loads and do not enter for the mobile loads, by selecting the "Apply" button the program will apply the new permanent load values for all permanent loads and will reset the mobile values because there will be no mobile loading in the list. So selecting the "Apply" button will only apply the loads that exist in the list. If in the previous case you wanted to replace the values of charge 1 (Permanent) with the new values and at the same time keep the mobile values, should select the " Replace " button. So by pressing the existing values are replaced with the values you have just set and are present in the active window . With the "Deleteoption you delete the loads from a charge or from a charge group. The values of the loads are reset to zero and the load is deleted from the loads window.
