When loads are sent to structural or equipment manufacturers, we often apply a factor of conservatism to cover small changes that might occur in the model. While exporting the results to an excel file is useful, the need to apply a load factor requires an additional manual step. It would be useful if there was a load factor input that automatically applied to the support loads on creation of the excel report.
Hi Jessica hope you are well.
We have had a similar request about factoring the STAAD support loads for PipeLINK and the response there was this was easy to do on the STAAD side or factor the combination before sending it. I think this is a solution that should work for your use case, if you agree I will set this as already exists.
