There really isn't an easy way to get what you want. The current version of CAESAR II isn't setup to do this directly in a static analysis.

For linear jobs, you can do this in the dynamics module. Setup your uniform load cases as independant loads, and use the "static/dynamic" option to combine two static cases absolutely.

Alternatively, you could send you static output to an MS Access (ODBC) database and post-process the results.

We are adding this capability into the static modules for Version 4.30. This version should be released in January 2001.


I really don't understand the later half of your second question. Your load case #4 consists of "W + T1", this is not "Sustained". Furhtermore, the only way cases 8 and 9 could yield the same results would be if ST5 and ST6 are the same, which could only happen if U1 and U2 are the same.
