Load Combinations and Result Combinations

Wind simulation load cases that were calculated by RWIND 3 can be combined in the usual way with other load cases by means of load combinations or result combinations. The former incorporates the loads of the contained load cases, the latter of its results. For further information, see the Combination Wizards described in the RFEM manual.

The RWIND 3 load cases are classified as alternatively acting in the Wind action category. Wind load cases never occur in two directions simultaneously.

Tip

Note that the wind load cases usually only exist with self-weight. If a separate calculation of an RWIND 3 load case gives an instability, combine it with the self-weight load case.
