Beam Wind Pressure

Load Case Name

Select the Load case.

To enter, modify or delete additional load conditions, use the  button.

Direction

Select the direction of wind load action.

- X-Y: The load is applied in the horizontal direction of the

  structure. (parallel to the XY plane of the global coordinate system).

- Normal: The load is applied perpendicular to the ground.

Angle

Enter the wind load input angle about the global coordinate system X-axis.

Scale factor

Enter the increase/ decrease coefficient of wind load.

Wind Load Code

Velocity Pressure Name

Select the function for a velocity pressure function.

To add, modify or delete a velocity pressures, use the  button.

Gust Factor

Input a external and internal gust factor

To calculate the gust factor automatically, use the  button.

Coefficient

[Auto.Calculate Coefficients] : Check on it to calculate the coefficients automatically and Select the structure type.

To calculate the external and internal Cf automatically, use the  button.

Selection

Select the area where wind pressure will be applied.

The selected area is calculated as the distributed wind load and the load will be applied on the nodes composing the area.

  - Group: Enter the load on the Area plane set in Loading Area Plane.
(If the selected area is twisted more than 3 degrees, the load can not be loaded. .)

  - Element: Enter the load in the closed area created by the selected line element of the structure.

Loading Area Group Name

Select the Area Group which is defined from Structure> Group> Define Loading Area Group.

Element Defining Loading Area

Activated when the element is selected in the Selection field.

Select the line element composing the closed area.
