Load Case > Load Set assignment

Definition of  the load sets to be assigned to the active load case

SettingDescription
Load Set Selection of the load set to be assigned
Const-Fac Multiplication factor for the loads defined in this Load Set Note: the load case factor is not applied to load sets!
Var-Fac Variable factor for the loads defined in this Load Set. This factor is used in dynamic time history calculations. The name of the Variable  (expression, table) representing the time diagram of the loading, is entered. (total factor in dynamic analyses = Const-Fac + Var-Fac ! )
Note: The function Var-Fac describes the time dependency of the  deviation of the load from a constant level. Const-Fac has to be set to 0.0,  if the time dependency of the actual loading should be specified!
Option: Load set values can be increased This option relates to the load increase in the actions Buckle and Failure. If the option "Only variable load sets" is there selected, the loading defined in this load set will only be increased, if the option  "Load Set values can be increased" is selected.
