The task Combine Loads was explained in the Portal Frame and Imperfection Concept tutorial.

The task provides next analysis theories:

  • 1st order theory

  • 2nd order theory

  • 3rd order theory

  • Linear elastic

Hint

If you have not defined the imperfection loads/actions in SOFiPLUS, then this can be done also by using the “Inclination” option. In the “Inclination” you can set the inclination in global direction or set the imperfection from an equivalent loadcase.

Tip

Official workflow is to use SOFiPLUS to define the imperfection.
