Hi,
I would like query the transfer of wind loads through claddings. Ideally, as shown in the attached picture, part of the wind loading would go to the foundation,at the bottom edge of the cladding - I modelled this edge as pin supported. It seems to me that even that doing this, it does not seem to attract any wind load, and the central beam supporting the cladding is getting much more load than it should. What would be the right approach if this is not valid as it seems?
Thank you,
Migue
Hi @Anonymous
Currently you have supports under the columns as you cannot support cladding edge. You may consider defining a dummy beam at the bottom of the cladding between the columns and then add some nodes with supports along its length.

My assumption is that you would like to hide some part of a model so that it is easier to work with its smaller part. In RSA you can't hide elements but you can select the part you want to work with and open it in a new window so that the other objects are not shown.
