Purpose

The Load Combination Generator Skill creates load combinations for structural design per ASCE 7, AASHTO LRFD, and other applicable codes for both ASD and LRFD design methods.

Capabilities

  • Generate ASCE 7 load combinations (ASD and LRFD)
  • Generate AASHTO LRFD load combinations
  • Support for special load combinations (seismic, wind)
  • Custom load factor specification
  • Load case matrix generation
  • Strength and serviceability combinations
  • Fatigue load combinations
  • Multiple load path considerations

Usage Guidelines

When to Use

  • Developing structural design loads
  • Creating analysis load cases
  • Checking code compliance
