Problem:
When carrying out a moment combination of two or more load cases using a user defined code combination, how does the program determine the Young's modulus ratio to use when calculating the bending stress due to the combined moments? The two cases could have different temperatures hence have different modulus values
Solution:
Moments are evaluated for each load individually prior to combinations. The Young's modulus for each respective load should be used in when combining load case in your User combinations
