Wind Load with ASCE 7-02

[andrea_pontiggia]

I need to calculate loads from snow and wind with the 3D standard ASCE 7-02 (see attached image).

In 2015 I Robot standard ASCE 7-05 wind and snow that does not compute in 3D.

How can I do?

The part of Help you inserted refers to generation of wind 3D models created from 2D frames (warehouse like structures).

For arbitrary shapes of 3D models you can either define loads manually or use the wind simulation option (wind tunnel approach) instead.

By using the simulator of the wind, you know, help me to create a diagram of the wind speed (or pressure) in accordance with ASCE 7-05.

This is my first time with this legislation.

Do you have any references to send me?

thanks
