Seismic Load Generation Robot

Thanks in Advance for Advice or help.

In ASCE 7-16 if a storage live load for a floor is high enough, a percentage of that (25%) has to be accounted for in the seismic weight. When generating seismic load in Robot, is there a way to account for that increase?

Also, if I a different Lateral Force Resistance System in each of the two orthogonal directions, is there a way to generate these loads differently in one go?

Thanks

Mr. Simau,

Thank you for your response. I do still have a couple of questions.

In part 2, how would I tell it that the X and Y direction have different R values?

Thanks in advance for any help

When trying to generate load combinations in Autodesk Robot I get the attached warning? Can anyone help?

Thanks

What method do you use to generate combinations?
