The model presented in the video shows a symmetrical double-hinged frame made of steel, in which the number of generated load combinations is reduced by defining the leading variable actions. The reduction method optimizes the combinatorics of load cases by considering leading and accompanying effects in a differentiated way. The linked image shows a precise display of the frame structure, including the hinge connections and the frame geometry. The procedure provides practical insights for more efficient modeling and analysis.
