Create and manage wind loadcases

Once you have defined the basic wind data for your model, and calculated wind zoning in the Wind Wizard, you can define the required wind loadcases manually. For detailed instructions, see the following paragraphs.

Create wind loadcases

On the ribbon, go to the Zone Loads tab and click Wind Loadcases.

The Wind Loadcases dialog box opens.
Do one of the following:
- Click Add to add the details of each wind loadcase individually.
- Click Auto to generate standard wind loadcases for the wind directions that you have defined in the Wind Wizard.
  
  Note:
  You cannot use the Auto option once you have created other wind loadcases.

Delete wind loadcases

On the ribbon, go to the Zone Loads tab and click Wind Loadcases.
Click the wind loadcase that you want to delete.
Click Delete.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to delete further loadcases.
Click OK to close the Wind Loadcases dialog box.

Note:
Remember to update your design combinations, so that they take the deleted wind loadcases into account.
