Enclosed structures

The wind wizard method is typically used for enclosed structures and requires at least one wall panel, or roof panel to exist before it becomes available.

In this method, you 'clothe' the structure in wind and roof panels, and then create a wind model by running the wind wizard.

The wizard creates wind zone loads that are subsequently decomposed to the structure during analysis. Wind loadcases are then created for the required directions.

Open structures

The wind wizard method can also be used to apply loads to members marked as "open structure".
