How to combine load analysis cases in Caesar
Thread Content
How to combine loading analysis scenarios in Caesar? For example, which loads constitute the primary stress and secondary stress? Which operating condition’s data is used to submit load requests for the civil engineering field? How is it combined?
For reference: L1 W (HGR) – spring load; L2 W+T1+P+D (HGR) – spring load under operating conditions; L3 W+T2+P+D (HGR) – spring load under design conditions; L4 WW+HP+H (HYD) – hydrostatic test; L5 WNC (HYD) – weight of air ducts and insulation; L6 W+P+T1+H+D+F1 (OPE) – normal operation; L7 W+P+T2+H+D+F1 (OPE) – design conditions; L8 W+P+T1+H+D+F1+WIN1 (OCC) – operation + wind load; L9 W+P+T1+H+D+F1+WIN2 (OCC) – operation + wind load; L10 W+P+T1+H+D+F1+WIN3 (OCC) – operation + wind load; L11 W+P+T1+H+D+F1+WIN4 (OCC) – operation + wind load; L12 W+P+T1+H+D+F1+U1 (OCC) – operation + seismic load; L13 W+P+T1+H+D+F1+U2 (OCC) – operation + seismic load; L14 W+P+T2+H+D+F1+F2 (OCC) – operation + release reaction force; L15 W+P+H+F1 (SUS) – primary stress calculation; L16 L8-L6 (OCC) – pure wind load; L17 L9-L6 (OCC) – pure wind load; L18 L10-L6 (OCC) – pure wind load; L19 L11-L6 (OCC) – pure wind load; L20 L12-L6 (OCC) – pure seismic load; L21 L13-L6 (OCC) – pure seismic load; L22 L14-L7 (OCC) – pure release reaction force load; L23 L6-L15 (EXP) – secondary stress calculation; L24 L7-L15 (EXP) – secondary stress calculation; L25 L15+L16 (OCC) – combined stress under wind load; L26 L15+L17 (OCC) – combined stress under wind load; L27 L15+L18 (OCC) – combined stress under wind load; L28 L15+L19 (OCC) – combined stress under wind load; L29 L15+L20 (OCC) – combined stress under seismic load; L30 L15+L21 (OCC) – combined stress under seismic load; L31 L15+L22 (OCC) – combined stress under release reaction force
Thank you to “lijia*n” from above, thank you
For each bracket and spring defined, the output results include the values of forces and moments in the x/y/z directions under various operating conditions; generally, the maximum value in the y direction for that point is taken as the load to be submitted to the structural engineering team.
