If necessary, you can create load combinations manually. In this case, Tekla Structural Designer uses a default factor for each load case when you add it to the combination.

1. On the Load tab, click Combination.

   The Loading dialog opens on the Combinations page. On this page, you can see all currently existing load combinations.

2. Click Add.
3. In Design Combination Title, name the combination.
4. In Class, select the combination class.
5. Depending on the combination class that you selected, do some of the following:
   • Select Active in order to include the combination in analysis or design.
   • Select Strength in order to assess the combination for design.
   • Select Service in order to assess the combination for deflection.
6. In the left side pane of the Loading dialog box, click the combination name.
7. Select the load cases that you want to add in the combination, and click >>.
8. Click OK to save the load combination.

   Tekla Structural Designer adds the new load combination to the list of combinations in the Loading list.

   Tip:

   To review the factors and options that have been applied to a combination, click the combination name on the left side pane of the Loading dialog box.
