Answer:
Due to the calculation design checks to be performed (cross-section design, stability analysis, serviceability limit state design, and so on), it is not possible to determine favorable load situations of a structural component or an entire model in advance.
However, an algorithm is available for RFEM and RSTAB that develops all possible load constellations for the entered load cases according to a specific standard criterion (a superposition of loads in load combinations or a superposition of results in result combinations). These load constellations include each eventuality resulting from variably acting load cases. The design using this combination package ensures the consideration of the governing combination.
You can activate the combinatorics in General Data by selecting the "Create Combinations Automatically" option (see image).
