Primary Load Cases |
Opens the Create Primary Load Case dialog, which is used to create new primary load cases. |
Combination Load Case |
Opens the
Define Load Combinations dialog,
which is used to specify a load case that combines results of analysis
performed for different primary load cases.
Note: That this
option combines the results of the analysis in the specified manner. It does
not analyze the structure for the combined loading.
