Problem:
Two forces on different locations on a pipe stress model. Each force should be in a separate load case combined with GR.(S0 GR+F1 and GR+F2). Both forces are not working together. How can I do the load case set up so each force is in a separate load case?
Solution:
Simple, insert a Concentrated Force and assign it to a User load case (U1..U140). Analyze the model with the added load cases, and confirm a combination correctly adds the Concentrated force to the desired load case. If not, create user combination(s) as needed. Lastly, for non-linear analysis consider load case load sequence and change as needed.
Ex. If Concentrated forces were added to both U1 and U2, confirm combination Gr+U1 and Gr+U2 exist
