I need to analyze the open metal structure which is affected selfweight and wind load. How I can set in the program to take into account in the analysis of the load and the the frequencies of a structure.I tried to install it using the formula
LOAD CASE 1 SELFWEIGHT X 1 LIST ALL SELFWEIGHT Y-1 LIST ALL SELFWEIGHT Z 1 LIST ALL MODAL CALCULATION REGUESTED
But the calculations are obtained with an error. Calculation selfweight and wind load for me no problem. Problem to connect them with a the frequencies of a structure as described above.
Please help with calculations. If possible, attach the corrected file or list the order of entries in the Load and Definition.

Seems like you are trying to capture the dynamic effect due to the wind loading plus dead load and trying to find out the structural responses like displacement, support reactions, member forces due to that. That is not possible. The wind load generation facility that you are using in your example, generates static loads and does not include any dynamic effect.
I have attached an example where I have demonstrated the usage of the both frequency calculation commands in an example model ( Load case 1 – RAYLEIGH FREQUENCY, Load case 2 – MODAL CALCULATION and Load case 3 – static dead load ). Please note that the results like displacements, support reactions, member forces etc for all these cases would be identical as all these results are static analysis results for wind + dead load acting together. In addition the load case 1 also report natural frequency for the structure when constrained to vibrate in a mode that is similar to the displaced shape under the dead + wind load. Similarly the load case 2 reports natural frequencies of the structure after carrying out a full eigen solution. The wind + dead loads defined are internally converted into masses for the dynamic analysis for this load case 2.
