How set wind load manual
- Thread starter dwg2004
- Start date
If I understand correctly, your building code or design standard isn't supported by SAP2000 so you're wondering how to apply wind loads.
You'll probably need to do this the old-fashioned way. Define a master node for each level at the location of the wind load resultant. Define a rigid diaphragm for each level. Compute the wind load resultants and apply them at these master nodes.
