M. To create a new primary load case

This procedure applies to the Loading page in the Analytical Modeling workflow.

Either:

select the Primary Load Cases tool in the Loading group on the Loading ribbon tab

or
select the Load Cases Details section on the Load & Definitions dialog and then click Add

The Add New Load Cases dialog opens.
Select the Primary tab.
(Optional) Type a Number for the load case. The program will increment the load case number based on existing load case numbers.

(Optional) Select the Loading Type. This selection is used when automatically generating load combinations. If you select a live load type, you may also indicated if the load is Reducible per UBC/IBC.

Dead	Soil	Ice
Live	Rain Water/ Ice	Wind on Ice
Roof Live	Ponding	Crane Hook
Wind	Dust	Mass (See Notes a-c)
Seismic-H (horizontal, See Note d)	Traffic	Gravity
Seismic-V (vertical, See Note d)	Temperature	Push
Snow	Accidental	None
Fluids	Flood

Type a Title used to easily identify this load case.
Click Add. The empty load case is added to the Load Cases Details list.

You must now add load items to this load case and assign them to objects in the structure.

You can edit the load case title and loading type by selecting the entry in the Load Cases Details list and then clicking Edit in the Load & Definitions dialog.

You can remove the load case (along with any associated load items) by selecting the entry in the Load Cases Details list and then clicking Delete in the Load & Definitions dialog.
