You will need to calculate the wind story forces and input them as user defined story forces. I recommend using information from program generated wind load cases that is included in the Loads &amp;amp; Applied Forces report to reduce the calculation effort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
