Hello,
When attempting to create the load combinations I receive the following message - "Dependent loads of type WL and master loads of type WS are not equal in number. Please specify same number of two loads when cross combinations option is turned off."
Currently I have 2 WS and 2 WL loads defined, with the WL set as dependent on WS. Can you clarify this message?
Thank you,
Ben
Please break the dependency as mentioned in the below link.
This should resolve your issue.

For anyone who may run into the same error, try reversing the default WS and WL dependency. Set them as: WS depends on WL, and WL depends on None. This worked for me, and gives you the same result as the default dependency if it worked correctly.
Breaking the dependency would also work, but will generate a huge number of combinations that are not correctly combining loads. Judging from responses to similar questions the Bentley people will tell you to just delete the ones you don't need, which would work but likely isn't feasible. In my case I only had 6 WS and 6 WL cases and I had 16,800 incorrect combinations (STR V and SRV I) with the dependency broken. I would not recommend breaking dependencies in most cases.
Great idea man thanks keep it up all the time. am very happy to see your standard. publixoasis
