Generate load combinations automatically

00:03

With robot structural analysis,

00:05

you can easily define and calculate load combinations automatically.

00:10

These combination cases are specifically

00:13

created for all possible code combinations

00:17

and are generated according to code combination regulations.

00:21

After opening a project with defined geometry

00:25

of a structure

00:26

and loads acting on it

00:28

from the text menu, select loads,

00:31

automatic combinations,

00:33

the load case code combinations, dialog displays

This displays the editor of code combination regulations.

00:47

Here you can inspect the rules or modify them.

00:51

This editor has a set of factors

00:54

and the formula for generating combinations for selected code

00:59

note that the codes available in the list

01:02

depend on the codes defined in the job preferences. Dialogue,

01:06

if you change a code in the combinations wizard,

01:09

the job preferences are updated as well

01:12

for now though close the editor dialogue

01:16

back in the load case code combinations, dialogue,

01:20

select full automatic combinations

01:23

and then select more

01:44

Select the relations tab to modify the operators for relations

01:49

again,

01:50

01:52

and select a different load case.

01:55

After your settings are configured to your liking, click generate

02:00

the dialogue closes

02:03

to inspect the generated combinations

02:05

from the text menu,

02:07

02:11

the combinations table displays in the drawing area.

02:15

From here,

02:16

you can modify and inspect the factors

02:19

for the load case combinations

02:22

that were automatically generated

02:24

to ensure their accuracy.

02:26

Generating load combinations automatically

02:29

saves time and simplifies the process.
