Performing load combination calculations

When load combinations have been defined by Managing load combinations, calculations can be performed just upon the load combinations.

To perform calculations on load combinations:

Define the load combinations.

Optionally, select the objects to be calculated, or set the visibility of object classes or layers so that only the objects of interest are visible.

Select the command.

The Calculate Load Combinations dialog box opens.

Select the Load Combination from the list. The icon next to the combination indicates whether it is class- or layer-based.

Select whether the calculation should occur on all rigging objects in the drawing, or only on a subset of selected or visible objects.

Click OK to open the Calculation overview dialog box.

If the calculation finds issues with the load combination objects, a descriptive label, categorized by color (information, warning, or danger) is inserted in the drawing for each problem object. The problem is listed in the Calculation Overview dialog box.
