Automatic Combination

[Anonymous]

Hey,

I trying to generate automatic combination but the issue is it generate to much of combination (5000) which I do not need 

I have Basic Wind & Crane Load as

+X Wind & Crane

+Y Wind & Crane

-X Wind & Crane

&

-Y Wind & Crane

Whenever the robot try to use wind and the crane load at the same time with other load cases (Self Weight, Snow, Live), I want the both load to be of the same direction to be included for example

+X wind & +X Crane, +Y wind & +Y Crane, -X wind & -X Crane & -Y wind & -Y Crane

But I do not want the Robot to consider “+X wind & -X Crane, +X wind & -Y Crane, +Y wind & -X Crane “

I would like have a solution for this.

Thanks.

As it is not possible to set the relations among load cases that are of different natures you have to define both wind and crane load cases with the same nature (e.g. wind). Then you can group them and set the relations as shown on the attached pictures. Finally edit the load factors in the combination table if neeeded.
