Combination key

Whenever a table of extremes (either local, beam or global) is given in the Document, it shows not only the value and place, but also the load case or combinations in which each particular extreme was achieved.

If the user is only using code-related combinations, the information that the extreme was achieved in this "huge" combination may be insufficient. As stated already several times, a code-related combination may combine several tens or even hundred linear combinations.

Therefore, SCIA Engineer enables the user the option to attach a legend to result tables. This legend is called Combination key and it contains a list and composition of linear combinations (formed from the code-related combination) for which any of extreme values has been achieved.

Only the linear combinations that appear in the result table are stated in the Combination key.
