You may create Load Combinations and as part of that, you may combine the generated load cases with appropriate combination factors. For example to combine the first generated case from each of the 3 moving load generations you may create a combination as shown below

LOAD COMB 200

2 1.1 36 1.2 70 1.3

Here I have used a LOAD COMB 200 and combined the generated cases 2, 36 and 70 with some arbitrary combination factors.

You would need to use the editor to type in these commands.

The reason to do this is that type 1 is going to have different strength multipliers compared to type 2 and 3.
