Wind Loading on specific members
Wind Loading on specific members
(OP)
Now this might be a relatively simple problem to solve, but I've had the most difficult time trying to solve it and CSI tech support... well do they even exist?
1) I'm trying to apply a static wind load (NBCC 2005) to a vertical truss (only to one story). I only want the wind load to be applied to the exposed truss members. I understand Imay have to manually create and apply a lateral uniform load, but how will I apply it to those exposed sections?

I also had a wall section where there is cladding, but I think the way to go about that is inserting a dummy wall and applying a Cp coefficient to it? (please correct me if i'm wrong)
your help is much appreciated
