I am using the seismic load generator for the first time.
Can you please verify that I have applied it correctly?

wind load on open structure

Karen McGinty — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 19:04:32 GMT

I have a design of a bike shelter. I do not know if i am applying the wind load appropriately.

I have applied the calculated uplift on the roof, and also through the wind generator. My question is that I can only choose X or Z for the direction of the wind load, but since it's an open structure, the wind is really only on the roof (Y direction).

I am attaching the model.
