Non-linear calculation - Load combinations - Wind load

[Anonymous]

Dear users,

I found this case in several posts, but i didn't find an answer for this case.

I have a guyded mast with 9 cables attached on 3 different levels. I have added the different load cases (mean wind/ patch wind) for the different directions and I would like to make the combinations.

My problem, that because of the non-linear calculation, all load cases include the assembling load case (Self-weight of the structure), therefore I can not really make a load combination for these separated load cases.

What is the solution to make load combinations with the wind load cases at the non-linear calculation without taking into consideration the self-weight all the time.

Thank you in advance !

Example , model with cables
case1 - assembly case
case2 = case2_ loads + case1
case3 = case3_loads + case1

comb1= case2 + case3 = case1+case2_loads+case3_loads

Hope it is clear now

Great, thank you! I thought, that the selfweight won´t be added all the time, even if the loadcases are non-linear calculations as wel. Thank you to ensure that!
