Introduction to load cases

Individual loads are not defined "freely". They must be included in load cases. The load cases correspond with the professional terminology specified in national technical standards dealing with loads of civil engineering structures. The application of load cases in SCIA Engineer follows the load management procedures that are usual and also obligatory in civil engineering practice.

It is possible to specify a great number of load case parameters to control the way the program treats each particular load case and especially the loads defined into it.
