The Analysis - Load Combinations Mode allows you to combine the basic load cases into load combinations to obtain the results for combined loads. Member forces, Deflected Shapes and Drift resulting from the load combinations can be displayed, and printed outputs obtained.

The View/Update, Results and Reports commands function the same as those in Analysis mode, and the same outputs are available. However, whereas the results shown in the Analysis - Load Cases Mode are based on the basic load cases, the results shown in the Analysis - Load Combinations Mode are based on load combinations.

This mode does not perform any analysis or check members for Code-related requirements such as stresses or capacities. The combinations that are used in the code check functions of the Steel – Standard Provisions mode do not need to be created in this mode.

The Analysis - Load Combinations Mode is accessed by selecting Mode > Analysis > Load Combinations or by selecting Load Combinations in the mode list box.
