You can have
Tekla Structures automatically generate load combinations for an analysis model according to a building code.
Before you start, ensure that you have the appropriate load modeling code selected in

(This step only applies to the Eurocode.) If needed, select the
Minimum permanent load with lateral loads only check box. This reduces the amount of load combinations when only minimum permanent loading needs to be considered in lateral loading situations.
-
Click
OK to create the load combinations.
If the analysis model has imperfection loads,
Tekla Structures automatically creates load combinations with both the positive and negative directions (x and -x, or y and -y).
