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
Dave Geeves
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.
