Wind Load Distribution on Cylinders According to EN 1991-4

How can I apply wind load distribution to a cylinder according to EN 1991‑4, Section 7.9?


Answer:

To do this, you can use the "Free Variable Load" load type. It allows you to define a load that acts variably over the perimeter by specifying a rotation axis. Also, it is possible to separate the perimeter into several segments.

Furthermore, this load can be used to generate a load that is variable in height. In the model file provided, an example of a load with both variables is applied.
