ILM Schedule > Renumber Loadcases

Input pad for generation of multiple loading case (one per launching step) out of given Reference Load Case.

Note: This pad is opened with the button between <Insert Launch after current line> and <Delete Launch Step> above launching table (upper listing).

For proper consideration of creep effects within Incremental Launching Analysis it is necessary to store all intermediate launching steps as individual load case results. To keep the preparation simple it is possible to prepare only one Reference Load Case per launching sequence and generate all the necessary loading cases for the individual launching steps out of this Reference Load Case. Below input has to be specified.

The launching step series of the launching sequence, related to the same reference load case, is defined by:

Setting	Description
From launch	First launching step of the launching sequence with same reference load case
To launch	Last launching step of the launching sequence with same reference load case
Launch step	Increment of launching step numbering of above input

The generation of the individual load case for each launching step is prepared by:

Setting	Description
Reference load case	Name of the Reference Load Case which is prepared for calculation and result storage of the launching steps within this launching sequence. Note: This load case must be defined in the schedule before! Tip: For easy selection press the arrow beside, which will open the Load case list containing all user defined load cases of current project.
Prefix	Prefix of generated new load cases for the individual launching steps Default: Name of the Reference Load Case, extend by '-' (e.g. 'ILM-1-')
Starting number	Number of generated 1^st new load case of input launching sequence, above Default: 1 E.g. Launching steps are 22 to 41, prefix is 'ILM-2-', will generate new load case for these launching steps with names 'ILM-2-1' up to 'ILM-2-20'

Description

Reference load case

Name of the Reference Load Case which is prepared for calculation and result storage of the launching steps within this launching sequence.

Note: This load case must be defined in the schedule before!

Tip: For easy selection press the arrow beside, which will open the Load case list containing all user defined load cases of current project.

Prefix

Prefix of generated new load cases for the individual launching steps

Default: Name of the Reference Load Case, extend by '-' (e.g. 'ILM-1-')

Starting number

Number of generated 1^st new load case of input launching sequence, above

Default: 1

E.g. Launching steps are 22 to 41, prefix is 'ILM-2-', will generate new load case for these launching steps with names 'ILM-2-1' up to 'ILM-2-20'

After confirming this input with OK the new load case names are shown in column LCase of launching table.

Note: Usually this input has to be repeated for each launching sequence.
