It is not working for the front surface when -X direction is selected. The reason is that Some of these panels ( 198to203 205 209to213 477to479 ) are not flat , like panel 477
I tried to use Rafal´s excelent flatness addin ( https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Robot-Structural/API-addin-checking-flatness-of-panels-conto... ) , but it is giving some kind of error.
Correcting the "flatness" , it will work for all directions and selecting all panels if desired.
Other than that I think your mesh size (10cm) is too small for the structure overall dimensions, making the analysis a lot longer .
Also you should not use kinematic constraints to fix mesh incoherences . The recomended setting is

Hi @Anonymous
Both @Refaat @Rafacascudo are right.
Your model is a little bit imprecise and panels are not flat (this is a main condition to make Wind Simulation working)
Additionally 10cm mesh giving 131000 of nodes in this model is too much - but this comment has no relation to WS.
As suggested before 50cm mesh would be good enough -> 8000 nodes in model ; but of course the choice is yours.
To make model running for WS:
- delete meshes
- remove intermediate characteristic points on panel edges - use this macro
- then you need to replace these panels : 1621 1623 by the flat ones
- run WS
