. Instruction for Using the Program ..
The program is simple to use and the guidelines are given for explanation of the program and its executio
Important
THIS PROGRAM IS A SHARED AND DISTRIBUTED FOR ACCELERATING THE LABORIOUS
PROCESSES IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING.
SUFFICIENT CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FORMING THIS PROGRAM AND OUTPUT HAS BEEN
VERIFIED WITH SAMPLE PROBLEMS.
PROPER VERIFICATION OF TEXT OUTPUT CREATED BY THIS PROGRAM IS ESSENTIAL BEFORE
USING IT AND THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH USER OF THIS WORKBOOK AND THE
DEVELOPER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY .
in Case of Any Clarification, Suggestion : Contact : jvc@[Link]
First three rows are meant for writing project information and calculation details.
Fourth row shall be used to provide title for the table, if required.
Row no. 5 shall be used to define the primary load case no which shall be used
in STAAD. The short description (abbreviation) of loading case shall be given
in row no. 6. The abbreviation given in row 6 will be used to write the load
combination description.
Note that the abbreviation defined in row no. 6 will be used for generating load
combination for SAFE and SAP, as both these program recognizes the
alphanumeric load number. If user still wants to use numbering system for these
programs then interchange row 5 and 6.
The definition of primary load cases shall be in continuous columns. The program
terminates when blank column value is encountered in row 5 or 6 depending upon
the program used.
The Column A is left blank for valid reasons. Do not delete even if it is not useful
to you.
The Column B shall be used to identify the load combination Identification.
The Column C shall be used to provide Serial Number to the load combination.
The Load combination number that is to be used in analysis program shall be
provided in Column D. The first combination starts in Cell **D7**. This must
be maintained else program will not function properly. Do not leave any blank
between two load combination. The program terminates at blank value in
Column D.
There is practically no limit on using no. of primary loading cases as long as
Excel and system resources permit. The same applies to no. of loading
combinations to be generated by this module
For each loading combination, provide the numerical load factor against each primary
load cases in this load combination matrix. Use of any other character would lead to
incorrect load combination data.
Provide ( -) in a cell where load factor is zero in that particular load combination.
Press *Run* button provided in 2nd row to generate the data. Follow simple
instruction when the dialog box appears for selection of software and later on.
Do not ignore any alert/instruction. Also, note the location of output file generated.
The program saves the output file in the folder from which the workbook is launched.
Some load combination description may be longer than 72 characters and may not be
recognized by program. Modify such things manually.
The file created by the program will have extension *.prn* and can be opened in any text
editor. Note that, while giving the file name do not provide the extension.
After completing the execution, verify the output data generated by program based on
the input given. User shall be responsible for use of this data.
Close button on the dialog terminates the program and allows the user to work in the
workbook.
Exit button on the dialog terminates the current session and closes the workbook.
and its execution.
