Dear,
Once when the sections are applied to the trussed or lattice framework structure, is it possible to find solidity ratio automatically?
Or this must be done by hand?
Best regards,
There is no automatic way to find the solidity ratio. Here is one suggestion for your consideration. Apply any wind load to a structure ( use a single intensity vs height ). Generate two wind load cases considering the structure as closed for one load and open for the other. Note the total loads generated from the statics check for each of the cases. The ratio of the total load generated for the second to the first should get you a reasonable estimate of the solidity ratio.
