Loads
If you select the Import from structural model definition type in Window 1.2, you have to define the load cases or load combinations including internal forces to be applied for the design in Window 1.3 Loads.
Existing Load Cases and Combinations
This column lists all the load cases, load combinations, and result combinations that have been created in RFEM or RSTAB. RF-/DYNAM Pro combinations can also be analyzed.
TIP
The design of a joint requires a clear constellation of internal forces. For the max and min values of a result combination, this is the case if the internal forces are superimposed with the criteria 'Permanent' and 'Or', if necessary. It is therefore not possible to design RCs in which one or more actions are classified as 'Variable'.
To transfer selected entries to the Selected for Design list on the right, click the 
button.
You can also double-click the items to transfer them.
To transfer the entire list to the right, use the 
button.
To select multiple load cases, click them while holding down the [Ctrl] key, as is usual in Windows applications. This allows you to transfer several load cases at once.
Load cases marked in red, such as LC 5 or LC 6 in Figure 2.16, cannot be designed: This is the case for load cases without loads, imperfection load cases, or invalid RCs (see above). A corresponding warning appears when you transfer them.
Several filter options are available below the list. They make it easier to assign the entries sorted by load cases, combinations, or action categories. The buttons have the following functions:
|
Selects all load cases in the list. |
|
Inverts the selection of load cases. |
Selected for Design
The column on the right lists the load cases, load combinations, and result combinations selected for the design.
To remove selected items from the list, use

You can select several items at once by holding down [Ctrl] and clicking them.
