StructuralLoadCase

Load case

Individual loads are not defined "freely". They must be included in load cases. A load case is a group, commonly used to group loads from the same action source. 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 follows the load management procedures that are usual and also obligatory in civil engineering practice.

Specification in the excel

Name of the column header	Type of data	Value example or enum definition	Required value	Description
Name	String	LC1	yes	Human readable unique name of the object
Description	String	Offices – Cat.B	no	Description of the load case
Action type	Enum	Permanent Variable Accidental	yes	Type of load in general. Other parameters depend on the adjustment of the load case type
Load group	String	LG 1	yes	Name reference to existing StructuralLoadGroup object with appropriate settings of Load group type
Load type	Enum	Self weight Others Prestress Dynamic Static Temperature Wind Snow Maintenance Fire Moving Seismic Standard	yes	Define subtype of load. Depends on Action type property. Subtypes for Permanent: Self weight; Others ;Prestress; Standard Use value "Self weight" only for cases of automatically generated load. If your app is exporting self weight load as load objects, use type "Standard" and use field "Description" to carry the information it is Self weight (example: "Self weight load impulses") Subtypes for Variable: Others; Dynamic; Static; Temperature; Wind; Snow; Maintenance; Fire; Moving; Seismic; Standard Subtypes for Accidental: Others; Dynamic; Static; Temperature; Wind; Snow; Maintenance; Fire; Moving; Seismic; Standard
Duration	Enum	Long Medium Short Instantaneous	yes, if Action type = Variable	For static standard loads, the duration of the load impact can be specified
Id	String	39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39	no	Unique attribute designation
