Are there any plans to include auto-generation of Water Loads in RC Pier?
For example, the user inputs the water elevation, soil elevation, velocity, drag coefficients, and flow angle, and then RC Pier could convert this into X and Z loads on the column or cap with the appropriate magnitude and start/end fractions based on the pier geometry already defined in the model. This could include buoyancy as well.
This is a tedious load to hand calculate and manually input, and even more tedious to modify every time you tweak a column diameter or footing elevation, etc.
Thanks
