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.
- On the Load tab, click
The Snow Wizard opens.
- On the first page of the Snow Wizard, define the basic data.
- Click Next.
- On the second page, specify the load cases that you want to generate, and the number of drift directions to be considered.
- Click Finish.
If necessary, you can now review the snow load cases that you created.
