Info

Please follow the instructions provided below to prepare the set of unfactored analysis results.

1

The purpose of this object is to define unfactored load case combinations/envelopes.

It allows for the combination of staged construction/deconstruction and other cyclic/static load cases. The object also enables the filtering of case results based on the load type, extraction of incremental/cumulative results, and the combination of cyclic loads to determine This object serves multiple purposes, including defining unfactored result cases for AASHTO-based combinations, filtering staged construction results by load type, extracting incremental/ cumulative results from staged construction analysis, and combining transient loads such as wind loads, live loads to identify the most critical load effects.

The Result Extraction Cases created at generated through this stage process will be used utilized in the "Limit States" section.

2

Navigate to Combinations > Result Extraction Cases

(Unfactored load case combinations/envelopes for the wind load defined in the previous step are automatically established in this section.)

3

Enter a name as DC1_Sub for the Result Extraction Case you want to identify

Then Click three-dots icon on Filter by Load Type cell and click Select.

4

Select Dead load type for “DCSub1” as in the figure

5

Set DC1_Sub's Envelope to Yes.

As a result of an analysis with an Envelope parameter, the most critical value is selected.

For the DC1_sub result extraction data (unffactored load case) , ensure that the "Incremental" and "Transient Loads (Extreme Effects)" parameters remain constant (NO).

6

Click three-dots icon on Cases | Factors cell and click edit.

To visualize the Dead load in the Result extraction cases,
Indicate which of the previously defined construction stages are effective for the unfactored load case in this section.

7

Assign the appropriate Construction Stages for the DC1_Sub Result Extraction data (unfactored load case) in the combobox.

Click three-dots icon on Case and click Select to select construction stage.

Select (Construction Stages) Case for DC1_Sub as in the figure.

Once you have added the cases, enter the corresponding Factor data for each of them.

8

Repeat the same steps from 3 to 7 for the second and other Result Extraction Cases.

Enter the Result Extraction Cases as in the figure
