Load safety factors and combinations (Member calculation)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Please help to fix this kind of problem:

In the Member calculation (column) mode i set needed settings for load cases factors.

But when i start applying those loads cases on the column - it shows different factors. 

Please see attached pictures.

For example i need to set COMB DLx1.265, enstead of that Robot does DLx1.35. o_O 

Thanks,

Victor

Which code have you set for RC design ?

[Rafal.Gaweda]

The RC codes are linked with regulation files.

In this case it can be like that:

In case of importing such element from FEM model to RC module we recommend to generate manual combinations from code combinations in model and while importing to select Manual Combinations.

Hello,

-Finnish annex EC-2.

-Its linked alright, but im interested in safety factors which are stored under CC2 in screen pictures. 

-Im not importing column from FEM model. I started it on Member design mode from the start.

Like i said, i need to modify CC3 (structure class) safety factors but in calculations its still forcing into CC2 factors for dead load- 1.35

Thanks!

As I said this code is linked with CC2 regulation file.

Modify CC2 file.

That was the problem.

I modified CC2 file but it still was forcing to the wrong factor. 

Apparantly it was some sort of bag on my work station coz when i tried to modify it on home laptop -it worked just fine.

Thanks for quick replies!
