Why are boundary conditions incorrect after a post1 combination of harmonic real and imaginary results?

      The real component of applied loads is stored with both the real and imaginary results, so the combined value reflects that. For example, if an SRSS combination is done, the combined value will be the real value times the sqrt(2) regardless of the actual imaginary component of the load. Due to this effect it is not possible to re-enter solution and solve with the combined boundary conditions.
