I have assigned Tension only command to bracing element, but still they are failing in compression forces. The combinations are load combinations. When I use repeat load then bracing are designed as tension only. Is there a way by which using load combinations I can design bracing only for Tension case.
Hello Dixit,
May I know which Bentley product are you referring to?

When using Compression/Tension only member or supports, the primary load cases must be combined as Repeat Loads rather the regular load combinations.
Just wanted to to know if there is any other way in which we can ue load combinations and perform analysis
If you want to use Tension Only spec, then you must combine primary loads as Repeat Loads. If you want to use regular combinations, you should not use Tension Only spec.
