    You will need to create another loadcollector, with LOAD card image.

    Choose LOAD_Num_Set =2. Select the two load collectors (and assign the corresponding scale factors for the loads).

    Use this load collector in the loadstep.

    Since LOAD is a Static Load Combination card, you can combine loads here.

    Create another load collector with the LOAD card image, then set load_num_set at the bottom of this card to 2, you can find this when you card edit your newly created load collector.

    Now select your older load collector with the LOAD card image and the load collector with the grav card image as L1(1) and L1(2).
