Loading properties

Loadings have the following properties:

Loading Name The label used to identify the loading.

Loading Type See "About loading types" for more information.

Analysis The type of analysis, which can be Normal, Hyperstatic or Lateral SE.

A Hyperstatic analysis is used for only the Hyperstatic Loading described in "About default loadings".

For information on Lateral SE, see "Self-equilibrium analysis" in Chapter 50, "Analysis Notes".

On-Pattern Factor The factor that applies to loads that are located within the loading pattern when performing pattern-loading calculations. See "About load pattern" for more information.

Off-Pattern Factor The factor that applies to loads that are not located within the loading pattern when performing pattern-loading calculations.

Note: Concept ignores the pattern factors if both factors are the same value. Setting both factors to 2.0 is identical to setting both factors to 1.0
