Use the Group Edit view of the Static Analysis – Load Case Editor to update values on multiple load cases at one time. This view saves you valuable time as you can make global changes to load cases, rather than having to edit each load case individually.

To perform a group edit of multiple load cases

  1. Open a CAESAR II job.
  2. Run error checking or the analysis, and then select Static Analysis.
  3. Click Group Edit in the upper-right corner of the Static Analysis – Load Case Editor.
