Linear load combinations

AndreaC91

Hi,

I am pretty new with Mecway so forgive me if I say something trivial. I am trying to test the software on some basic cases to understand how it works and if it suits my needs.
Before starting, I'd like to preface that I am coping with some civil structural engineering cases.
A very standard situation to be worked out is the one with a structure subjected to several load conditions, e.g. dead load, superimposed loads, wind, etc., that need to be linearly combined to get the final actions in each structure member.

Is it possibile to manage load combinations directly with Mecway or should I solve all the load cases separatly and then add them up manually?

Thanks and regards,
Andrea

Mecway doesn't have an easy way to combine solutions. The feature that's meant to address your problem is configurations. In each configuration, you suppress a different combination of loads and solve them all separately.
