Hi,
My models need to be considered the second order effect so I use Repeat loads in stead of normal load combinations. The problem is that in my model there some generated loads using Moving Load Functions.
I read in the manual that the repeat load can not be used with generated load case from Moving Load. However I tried to put my repeat load include the generated load through command scripts and the model run without any errors or warnings. Could anyone help me to make clear that how Staad analyze my model, does the model take into account the repeat load for the p delta effect correctly? If not, any suggestion to work around with this situation, I mean include generated load cases in p delta analysis?
* Below commands generate 10 load cases from 101 to 110
LOAD GENERATION 10 ADD LOAD 100TYPE 22 0 5.05 -70.5 XINC 4.92 YRANGE 0TYPE 21 0 5.05 -40.02 XINC 4.92 YRANGE 0
* Below commands create Repeat load case CH60001 and this load case includes the generated load 101.
LOAD 60001 CH60001REPEAT LOAD1 1 2 1 101 1.0
PDELTA ANALYSIS CONVERGE 5 SMALLDELTA
Thanks
