Please refer to my post in the following thread for more discussion on this topic</p> <p><a href="http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/f/5932/p/116980/359851#359851">communities.bentley.com/.../359851</a></p> <p>For generating wind loading on side walls, first ensure that you are defining a separate Wind Type and choosing the Side Wall option for that to first have the software calculate the pressure vs&nbsp;height data&nbsp;for the side wall.</p> <p><a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/4237.1.png"><img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/4237.1.png" alt=" " /></a></p> <p>You may then apply the wind loading to the side walls using the appropriate wind direction and also the RANGE options to&nbsp;apply the loading on the appropriate face. Please note that to get the software to apply the wind loading simultaneously on the windward, leeward &amp; side walls you need to include all of these loading types as separate load items within the same wind load case. Any manually calculated roof loading due to wind, would also have to be added as part of the same wind load case. &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
