Selection of load cases

The table listing individual load cases allows for their selection to create a combination. The load case can be introduced into a combination by checking the field in the column "Consider" for a particular LC. A coefficient of usability can be specified for generally input combinations (select in the "Materials and standards" tab) to adjust the degree of usability of the load case in the combination.
