Load Expansion Case Condition 2 Recommend by Caesar - 03/28/11 04:22 PM

Hi,

When we check out the loads cases recommend by Caesar 5.00 (default), we have follow list:

L1= WW+HP HYD
L2= W+T1+P1 OPE
L3= W+T2+P2 OPE
L4= W+P1 SUS
L5= W+P2 SUS
L6= L2-L4 EXP
L7= L3-L4 EXP

I think that L7 case must be L7=L3-L5.

Why does caesar write L7=L3-L4 (EXP)?


Thanks

Because c2 doesn't know what the various cases represent. The load case recommendations are an "educated guess", but not always what you want. You're free to modify the load cases, that's why the "Load Case Editor" exists.

Do not take anything for granted. You are on your own.
