Load Combination Manager

Used to manage the load combinations that will be used in this Structural discipline model. You create, edit, and delete the load combinations here. Load combinations are stored with a design file and can be imported from another design file. When you export your analytical data to a supported analytical product, the load combination data is exported and then imported back to your model when you import the analysis.
