Does anyone know how to carry out load combinations, as described below, in ANSYS Designspace.
We are carrying out a linear static analysis of a structure that must be assessed for numerous load combinations. The combinations comprise linear combinations of various loads in various directions. The model is quite large so we do not want to run it multiple times. We want to run it once with multiple different loads and then combine these loads. I know how to combine the loads, but it is not clear how to carry out the modelling of different loads without rerunning the model. Rerunning the model for a different load seems very inefficient as the stiffness matrix is unchanged.
