The Wind Load Wizard facilitates the standard-compliant application of a wind load to the members and surfaces of a model. This load wizard is only applicable if the geometry corresponds to a rectangular building closed on all sides with a flat or monopitch roof, or if it corresponds to a rectangular flat, monopitch, or duopitch roof. For these geometries, you can define the building type and the corresponding corner nodes in the load wizard.
Building Type
There are three building types available for selection:
- Vertical walls with flat/monopitch roof
- Flat/Monopitch roof
- Duopitch roof
Set Wind Perpendicular to / in Direction
There are four wind flow directions listed in a table. They refer to the roof sides in accordance with the graphic scheme.
Set Loaded Wall / Roof
Another table provides an overview of the wall or roof plane properties. If necessary, you can use the check boxes to exclude certain wall or roof sides from the load assignment.
