Hi everyone!
I have a doubt regarding how to model a snow load over a hip roof with Patran/Nastran (considering that the snow pressure value is my input). In the same model I also have a flat roof, and I have modelled it as a uniform pressure (I hope this is ok).
But for the hip roof (made of four triangular plates) I don't know how to proceed. I have tried with a "distributed load" and with a "pressure" load, but with no success. I would apreciate any suggestion!
Thank you in advance.
