Does Caesar run the analysis for EQ actions in the forward and reverse directions

[KevinNZ]

Question for Caesar II users.

Does Caesar run the analysis for EQ actions in the forward and reverse directions or just analysis in one direction then only reverses the result in the load combinations?

Regarding load combinations Ceaser says “The subtracted uniform load vectors reverse the direction of the uniform load applied”. It does not seem to run the analysis again in the other direction. If the support gaps are asymmetric the loads from two analysis sets will be different.

Our procedure is to run the analysis twice with different load directions.
