| Applying Wind load actionsTonyC 2014-10-02 10:42:38 Just wanted to share this Technical support issue with our users. QUESTION How do I apply Wind Load forces to my structure? ANSWER - access the "Forces and Moments" 3D view (user); - select the type of force to apply in the "Loads and Pressures" section in "drawing entities"; - apply the selected load to the structure; - in properties, specify, the entity, the direction and the load condition for all forces (in this case "Wind Load" +/-x or +/-y).

These elements are useful for vertical dead load but would be far more useful if they could accept horizontal (wind) loads as well. Is there a way to apply superficial loads to cladding elements? Thanks. |

Forces can only be applied to the structural members (columns, beams, etc). Cladding elements, similar to floor slabs, are simple parametric elements that only transfer loads. The only way to describe the actions of horizontal actions is by applying them to the structural elements. Best Regards |

Wind load isn't calculated automatically. We'll consider your suggestion for a future update! |
