Load Cases

Loading is applied in load cases, so load cases are a convenient way of grouping together a collection of loads that are to be considered together. Thus a load case may be set up to contain all the loads associated with dead loads, another to contain all the loads associated with live loads etc.

In GSA the load cases are only used to group loading and are not used directly for analysis. The case type information is used when exporting concrete design data in establishing which analysis cases may be relevant.
