Load Combination Generator Skill
Purpose
The Load Combination Generator Skill creates load combinations for structural design per ASCE 7, AASHTO LRFD, and other applicable codes for both ASD and LRFD design methods.
Capabilities
- Generate ASCE 7 load combinations (ASD and LRFD)
- Generate AASHTO LRFD load combinations
- Support for special load combinations (seismic, wind)
- Custom load factor specification
- Load case matrix generation
- Strength and serviceability combinations
- Fatigue load combinations
- Multiple load path considerations
Usage Guidelines
When to Use
- Developing structural design loads
- Creating analysis load cases
- Checking code compliance
- Evaluating critical load patterns
Prerequisites
- Load types identified
- Risk category determined
- Design method selected
- Applicable codes identified
Best Practices
- Include all applicable load types
- Consider load direction effects
- Document any special combinations
- Verify combination applicability
