Hi all, If I am using the wind load generator to generate a load on a structure that is located at a high elevation, but I do not want to account for wind speed acceleration up a hill or escarpment as the structure being evaluated is located on another structure underneath which is relatively open and more or less allows the wind to pass through, how would I account for that in STAAD?
In such a case I would not need to account for wind speed up correct?

I think you need to consider the wind speed-up effect if the structure is open.is this structurally connected on the structure which covers it?
