&lt;p&gt;Please go through the following thread to see if this helps:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/f/5932/t/133130"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../133130&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though I tested your model as well and found that the issue is only related to the display of load values in GUI. The analysis engine is considering the exposure factors correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For your reference,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) I created a sample WIND TYPE 5 with same INTENSITY and EXPOSURE 0.5 assigned to same nodes as WIND TYPE 1 (EXPOSURE 1).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Created two sample wind LOAD CASES 32 and 33 and compared the results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I assure you that this issue is already reported to our developers and will be addressed in the upcoming commercial release. The test model is attached here as well:&lt;/p&gt;
