Run the snow load wizard

With the Snow Wizard, you can automatically generate snow load cases in both ASCE7 and EN 1991-1-3 snow loading codes. Using the wizard, you can set up basic snow data, snow load cases, and snow loads within the balanced, or undrifted, snow load cases.

Restriction:
  • The Snow Wizard is not currently available for the Indian, Australian, or British Standard snow loading code variants.

  • Snow loads in drift snow load cases are not set up automatically, and must therefore be manually applied. For more information, see Manually apply snow loads to snow load cases.

  1. On the Load tab, click Snow Load > Snow wizard...

    The Snow Wizard opens.

  2. On the first page of the Snow Wizard, define the basic data.
  3. Click Next.
  4. On the second page, specify the load cases that you want to generate, and the number of drift directions to be considered.
  5. Click Finish.

    If necessary, you can now review the snow load cases that you created.
