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.
- 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.
- Click Add.
- In Design Combination Title, name the combination.
- In Class, select the combination class.
- 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.
- In the left side pane of the Loading dialog box, click the combination name.
- Select the load cases that you want to add in the combination, and click >>.
- 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.
