if we have dead load and live load in our modellinng and use riks step and we enter the dead load just through the densite....after the analysis ,which load must be multiply to LPF ?
Dead load cannot be imposed at the structure only through its density. You have to specify a Gravity step in the step module to achieve this. If you have created only a Riks step in your analysis then the density that you have specified will contribute merely to the inertia of the structure and there won't be any dead load.
Best regards,
