Loadcase types (British Standards)

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/noI	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.
