hello Davide,

in the current version of Karamba (1.0.3) there are two ways of combining loads:

1.) specify for each load the index numbers of load-cases where it shall be active. A value of -1 signals that the load is active in all load-cases.

2.) use the ModelView-component to give each load-case a factor and combine them (see manual).

The cross section optimization algorithm assumes method 1 to be applied and returns the maximum cross section that results from all the load cases.

Best,

Clemens
