Hello everyone,

I just have a question.

I defined different load cases in load case manger, like(self weight, live load etc.) but i am asking how to combine all these loads together to make the software calculate them with each other and not as separated cases?

Actually, Sofistik does not combine load cases with each oteher, but you have to calculate load cases and then make combinations of the results of load cases.

It still has a way to combine load cases before calculation, but that’s not what it’s meant to be.
