Generate Manual Combinations Automatically

You can generate manual combinations automatically.

1. Click Loads Automatic Combinations. The Load Case Code Combinations wizard opens.
2. Select Manual combinations - generate.
3. Click More to specify the combination's parameters. The Load Case Combinations - Stage 1/2 displays.
4. Go to the Cases tab, and then select the cases that you want to include in the combination.
   Tip: Click to select all the available cases, or if you want to deselect all cases.
5. If you want to edit the parameters of a case:
   1. Click a case name in order to highlight it. The Edit parameters button becomes active.
   2. Click Edit parameters. The Parameters dialog opens.
   3. Edit the label and coefficient for the load case as necessary, and then click Apply.
6. Go to the Combinations tab, and then select the types of code combinations that you want to generate.
7. Go to the Groups tab if you want to create sets of load combinations connected by logical relationships.
8. Go to the Relations tab if you want to create relationships between load cases or load cases groups. Robot creates the groups and relationships automatically. This solution resolved the problem of base combinations. For more advanced combinations, options found on the Relations tab can be used. This lets you create logical operations on groups of cases within natures. When creating the operations, you can use brackets to join or exclude selected groups of cases.
9. Click Next. The Load Case Combinations - Stage 2/2 opens, and the list of available full code combinations based on selected linear, non-linear cases, and combinations is displayed.
10. Select the code combinations that you want to generate.
    Tip:

    • Use the filter at the top of the dialog to narrow down the choice of combinations.
    • Click to select all the available cases, or if you want to deselect all cases.
11. Click Generate. The selected code combinations are saved on the list of manual combinations.
    Note: If at least one of the component cases in a code combination is non-linear, then the generated code combination is non-linear as well. For linear cases (or linear combinations) linear combinations are generated.
