How to analyse impact of wind loading on a single story RSA 2019

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am new to RSA and I have followed the tutorials and forums solutions to create a error free 1 storey concrete frame model. this is a podium which will erected in-between two building 20m tall structures.

the model consists of  columns and flat slabs. I have managed to analyse the elements and provide the reinforcement required for these elements.

my question I how do I analyse the effects of the wind loading on the structure in the weak axis of the columns?

I have checked the forum and tutorials and can not find any concrete  information (no pun intended lol) on steps to follow to analyse the effects of wind loading if I input the load mannually without using the wind simulator.

I have applied modelled a cladding panel on one side for the podium and have inputted my wind pressure which I have worked out. how would I check the effects of the wind model?

please see attached screenshot.

thank you in advance.

It is not very clear , but by the screenshots you sent it seems that your cladding is just one object. But the face you are applying the wind is not a single plane . It is made of 3 distinct planes . So you will have to model 3 distinct claddings (claddings have to be a perfect plane surface)for the wind to be apllied correctly on the claddings so loads on the beams/columms can ge generated
