Hi Hmwere,
Yes you are right.
For the NAME of the combination, ETABS doesn't allow the same as SAP or SAFE (I really don't understand why CSI did that restriction in ETABS and not in the two others...).
In ETABS, you must write something like 14DL15LL for "1.4*DL+1.5*LL". I use to give this kind of names for my combinations :
135G15Q (1.35G+1.5Q)
GQ1.1W (G+Q+1.1W)
and so on.
Best regards
Zipatt
