Loadcase types (Eurocode)

The following loadcase types can be created:

Loadcase type Calculated automatically Include in the Combination Generator Imposed load reductions Pattern load
self weight (beams, columns and walls) yes/no yes/no N/A N/A
slab wet yes/no N/A N/A N/A
slab dry yes/no yes/no N/A N/A
dead N/A yes/no N/A N/A
imposed N/A yes/no yes/no yes/no
roof imposed N/A yes/no N/A N/A
wind N/A yes/no N/A N/A
snow N/A yes/no N/A N/A
snow drift N/A yes/no N/A N/A
temperature N/A N/A N/A N/A
settlement N/A N/A N/A N/A
seismic N/A yes N/A N/A

As shown above, self weight loads can all be determined automatically. However, other gravity loadcases have to be applied manually as you build the structure.
