wind load

Question

how to assign wind load to a building in stad pro?

Sye · Answer

The wind loads are always calculated at the nodes for closed structures. The software would calculate the load on the closed panels formed by columns and beams and then would apply the load as nodal load to the joints at the corners of the closed panels. The load is only calculated as UDL when one uses the Open structure option. It is not possible to apply the wind load as UDL for closed structures using the automatic wind load generation. If applying the wind load as UDL is important for you, you may consider applying the load as a member load ( uniform force option ) on the appropriate members,
