Create a combined load case

You can create combined load cases for SOL 101 Linear Statics - Global Constraints solutions because the constraints are the same for all of the loads.

  1. In the Simulation Navigator, under the solution for which you want to combine subcases, expand the Results node, right-click Structural, and choose Combined Load Cases.

  2. In the Combined Load Case Name box, type the name of the combined load case you are creating and click Create.

  3. In the Combined Load Case Components list, select a subcase that you want to include in the combined load case.To filter the list of subcases, type all or part of a subcase name. The list updates as you type.To return to the original list of subcases, delete any characters from the box.

  4. In the Scale box, type the scaling factor for the selected subcase and click Add.The subcase and scale factor appear in the Combined Load Cases list.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each subcase and scale factor combination that you want to add to the combined load case.

  6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to add additional combined load cases.

  7. When you are finished adding combined load cases, click OK.Note: You cannot save empty combined load cases. You can add several load cases manually, but be sure to add subcases to them before you click OK or Apply. Otherwise, the combined load case with no subcases added yet are removed.
