Working with Load Cases
This section describes how to create, edit, and use load cases in your physical model.
Mapping Physical Load Types to Analytical Loads
When you generate an analytical model for use in STAAD.Pro, the following mappings are used for the different load types available in STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler:
