Combine more then 1 load with moving load

In the STAAD currently we can only add one load case with that moving but there are many cases where user need to add more like dead and live both but there is only option to add one load so please add at least 2 or 3 load can be added

    Thank you for posting this idea. There is already a way to define load cases that include both the moving load and multiple other cases, i.e. using a load case with REPEAT LOAD, Consider the following example:-

    load 1 dead
    SELFWEIGHT Y -1

    ...

    load 2 lateral
    SELFWEIGHT Z 0.05

    ...

    LOAD GENERATION 3
    TYPE 1 12 0 120 XINC 6

    load 101
    REPEAT LOAD
    1 1.0 2 1.0 3 1.0
    *
    load 102
    REPEAT LOAD
    1 1.0 2 1.0 4 1.0

    *

    load 103
    REPEAT LOAD
    1 1.0 2 1.0 5 1.0
