How are load patterns rearranged using interactive database editing?

You cannot re-order rows in the Interactive Database editor. Although the order is not important in Answer: The interactive database editor does not have the capability to rearrange rows. While the order of load-pattern data is not important to most tables, it is important in some (e.g. to some, such as with points in a function). When you go to Excel from the Editor, rearrange, and bring the results back to the Editor, you haven’t really changed anything. After Apply To Model, the program When data is exported from the editor to Excel, rearranged, imported, then applied using the Apply To Model command, the software checks for changes, updates any definitions, and then refills the table. However, the internal ordering has does not changedchange, and this which is used to refill the table. You can imagine that trying to reorder this way would be ambiguous if you didn’t have all the load patterns in the table when you started the editing.To reorder Load Cases, you can use To reorder load cases, the up/down arrows may be used on the form. There No equivalent is available for load patterns.

To reorder load patterns, it is best no equivalent for Load Patterns. The best way to accomplish this is to export the ENTIRE entire model to Text, Access, or Excel, reorder the Load Patterns load patterns in the Load Pattern load-pattern definition table, and re-then import the ENTIRE entire model. The internal order will then be set by the order in which the items are defined.
