Snow/Wind Error Code

[Anonymous]

I am trying to add a wind/snow load onto my 2d frame,

the error code Snow/wind error code: 0x0006000b is appearing

Anyone know how to solve this so i can apply this wind/snow load

Hi @Anonymous

Could you attach your model?

Please find the attached model

Hi @Anonymous

The climatic load generator is intended for typical warehouse like structures and is not able to generate loads for bridges.

In that case is there anyway to apply a horizontal live load which would represent the wind/snow load

HI @Anonymous

You can always apply nodal or bar loads representing wind load manually however I'd say that it may more adverse effect if acting in the direction perpendicular t the bridge (3D model required).

Hi @Artur.Kosakowski

Thanks for your help

How do i then add a lateral load representing wind in the perpendicular direction to the bridge

thanks

Hi @Anonymous

After you change model type (Geometry > Structure type) to the 3D Frame you will be able to define loads acting in the global Y direction which is perpendicular to the bridge.
