In RFEM and RSTAB, snow drift is considered according to 5.3.4(3) of DIN EN 1991‑1‑3 for saw-tooth roofs.
To determine the correct load, it is necessary to specify the position of the drifted snow according to the nodes of the roof surface. This way, you can quickly create two load cases: "Snow with Drifted Snow" and "Snow Without Drifted Snow".
