Problem:

The User-Defined Combination is always listed last or at the bottom of the list. How to customize the order of Combination names  such that User-Define Name are not always grouped at the end?

Solution:

The combinations dialog requires that the individual load combination be listed before the combination where the load cases will be used in a combination. For example, Non-code combination GrT1P1 can not be listed before each of the other individual load combinations( Gr, T1, or P1).

Wrong combination listing:
Gr
GRT1P1
T1
P1

The correct combination listing must be:

Gr
T1
P1
GRT1P1

AutoPIPE does export a results database file where the user can modify the reports as desired with a program like MS Access. See online help for export MDB file for details.

In conclusion, the development team realizes the users would like a more tailored output report. There are plans for a complete over haul of the report facility to make it more user friendly and easily customizable for the individual user.
