hi, all experts,
i'm performing the FEA to a tall vertical tower with wind loads being considered. the wind load is per asce 7-10.

i am stuck on how to apply the wind loads in ANSYS which varies depending the height. i think the wind load is the function of height, must i figure out the function to apply wind load? what is typically dealt with?

thank in advance.
