Loading, Load Cases & Load Combinations

Create auditable STAAD load cases, mass definitions, signed wind/seismic actions, member/floor/element loads, combinations, envelopes, and repeat-load workflows without hiding the governing design basis.

Load Combination Envelope

Compare signed scalar teaching loads. A structural response quantity can be governed by a different case.

50 kN
30 kN
20 kN
These are intentionally limited instructional combinations for signs/factors. A project must use and verify the complete set required by its governing standard/edition and analysis type.
Largest absolute net scalar load shown
Gravity 2108.0 kN

This does not mean the case governs moment, shear, reaction, drift, uplift stability, or member design. Those response quantities require structural analysis/enveloping.

1.4D = 70.0 kN
1.2D + 1.6L = 108.0 kN
0.9D − 1.0W↑ = 25.0 kN
