If there is 7 gantry cranes running on girders in same industrial steel warehouse ( of inverted L shape warehouse), five cranes runs from (+X to -X) direction and two cranes runs from (Z to -Z) direction and vice versa in a same warehouse, any crane/s start from any end and stops any end in their respective path, all cranes can be run at a time and stop at a time , some cranes runs at a time and others rest at that moment,
To make load combination in staad pro CE , there is thousands of possible combinations,
Can staad pro CE auto load combination capable to make all such crane load combination automatically?
Different load locations of the running crane can be generated by using the Moving Load option. Each crane would have its own moving load. There is no automatic way in STAAD.Pro to combine these moving load. You can only create such load combination manually in the input file as explained in my answer (option 2) in this Forum discussion: Include Moving Load in Load combination - RAM | STAAD Forum - RAM | STAAD | ADINA - Bentley CommunitiesHowever, as you correctly mentioned, this would lead to thousands of combinations, so you could probably automate this by creating some OpenSTAAD macro.
Kindly suggest excel/macro formulations for making such load combinations quickly as it requires more tedious job for making load combinations one by one.
Auto Load Combination option available in STAAD.Pro is a tool which you can use to create your own combinations using some basic rule set. The help file documentation and the below video will help you.
