Title: Generate Repeat Load combination with moving Load and Notional Load

Solution: A macro file is attached for this task, Moving Looad Notional Load and Repeat Load.xlsm

How to use the macro

  1. Open the STAAD file where the Repeat load combination needs to generated with moving load and Notional Load (I have added a sample model where the moving load is already assigned and one Primary Load case is added)
  2. Provide all the required details as mentioned below

Input:

Cell B2: Number of Primary Load cases require to be included. Here I only want to include 1 Primary Load case (Load Case1) so I have added B2 value as 1

If no Primary load cases is required to included, then B2 value will be 0

Cell B3: Primary Load Case(s) number

Cell B4: Multiplying Factor for corresponding Primary Load Case(s)

Cell B6: Starting Moving Load case number

Cell B7: Starting Moving Load case number

Cell B8: Multiplying Factor for Moving Load case

Cell B10: Load Case Factor for notional Load in X

Cell B11: Load Case Factor for notional Load in Z

Cell B13: Starting Repeat Load Case Number

Cell B14: Repeat Load case Load Type (Choose from Drop down List)

Cell B15: Path of the File along with File Name

  1. Click on “Generate Moving Load” tab
