Wind Load using ASCE 7-10

Question

Hi, 
 I'm trying to add wind load using Wind definition with reference from ASCE 7-10. 
 As I check on value of the created table of Intensity and Height, I cannot prove the values if I calculate them manually. 
 For this, I went to look in the reference manual and unfortunately I cannot see the formula from ASCE 7-10. Available is 2002 and 1995. 
 Can u help me provide the formula used in the program? 
 This is such a big help. 
 
 Thanks, 
 Dave

Depending on the structure type that you select in the Common page from inside the Wind Load Definition dialog box, the next couple of pages would show the equations for velocity pressure qz and the design wind pressure pz that the software uses. For example if you choose your structure type as Building structure, the Main Building Data would show the equation for qz which is as per equation 27.3-1 of ASCE7-10. The equation for pz would be shown within the Building Design Pressure page and it is as per equation 27.4-1 of ASCE7-10.
