Hi,

Sorry for the late reply to this.

There are no automated wind loads in ASBD but these are normally added as a series of joint, beam or element loads in a horizontal direction.  If you have modelled your parapets and beam webs with plate finite elements you can apply a suitable pressure load to specific elements. Unfortunately you will need to work out the equivalent load values for beams and joints.

 

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

 

Kind regards

I was studying the subject, how can I create a workflow for RSA and generate the wind loads there and then apply the values ​​to the sbd but I was not successful in doing this, perhaps with a CFD analysis I can do it. Thank you for your attention to my doubt.
