When Skip Loading is selected, the program automatically generates different loading scenarios (as shown in the Help menu). However the program lumps all skip loading scenarios into one load combination (Num 5 in the attached picture). Is this correct? Does the program choose the worst loading case or do I have to manually break the load combos down to: 1.2DL +1.6SK1, 1.2DL +1.6SK2, 1.2DL +1.6SK3, etc... and compare?
Also Percentage just means that how much of the LL is used correct? For example: if my LL is 50 PLF. If 50% is selected, for skip loading, the beam will see 25 PLF loaded in all respective scenarios.Is there away to apply load in the direction of the weak axis of the beam? Or is that a task to be done in Ram Element?Very much appreciated for your help.
