Hi
When defining Ancillary Block, we need to input a value for "Ang", which is "Bearing of the ancillary, the clockwise angle between north and the negative “x” axis of the ancillary". What is the definition of "Bearing" and how it affects the analysis results?
Kind Regards
Ang is bearing of ancillary in clockwise angle between geographic north and negative ‘x’ axis of the ancillary.
In case of Wind load BEARING is a keyword (BARE) indicating that wind load is to be computed for the bare tower, i.e., the tower without any ancillaries
If for example we set Ang=30 (bearing of ancillary in clockwise angle between geographic north and negative ‘x’ axis of the ancillary), how does this angle affect the design? I can't still understand how this angle, say 30 degree, will be incorporated into ancillary wind load calculation process.
