Wind load on Open Structure

hi sirs,

In my understanding, the concept for wind load on open structure is different from SACS, am I right?
In SACS, I would have to define an area including (1)its centroid and (2)a joint or joints in seastate input file.

Then I have no any clue where can I define the wind intensity according to height like in staad.pro.

I would have posted my question in SACS forum but I would like to hear the opinion from professionals who know staad.pro as well.

Thanks!
