Additional Constraint-Loads: New/Modify/Copy

Definition of the load cases (variable and fix) and envelopes (fix) for characterizing the reference state for the additional constraint calculation

SettingDescription
Load case Specification of an individual load case
Envelope Specification of an envelope (superposition file)
Fix Specification of a fixed load case or envelope
Var Specification of a variable load case (no envelope allowed)
DOF Only if an envelope is specified: Relevant line of the result matrix (i.e. min.N, max.N, min.Mz, max.Mz, etc.)
Name Name of the load case or the superposition file
Factor Only for fixed load cases or envelopes: additional multiplication factor
DEST.LC Only for variable load cases: Load case for storing the load data with considering the calculated  factor. This load case can be used for any further evaluations or design checks.
End of linear combination Only for variable load cases: The factors of the variable load cases may also be related to the sum of several load cases.
SettingDescription
Not selected The load case is not treated as separate load case with ist own factor, but added to the subsequent load case. No proprietary factor is calculated.
Selected A factor is calculated for the load case. It is also valid  for any previous load cases without proprietary factor.
