There is no way to add wind load in other direction in case of unclad building. For example : - staad taking load case only in one direction i.e. +X, whenever I try to add another case in z direction, previous case gets deleted automatically.
So, it would be great if we can add wind load from all 4 directions.
Further, the wind load generator should generate wind load on the roof too, as mentioned above, in addition to generating wind loads in both directions namely X & Z in the same model. This is a essential development required as it will fulfill the purpose of wind load generator.
Thank you.
Are you referring to a limitation in the Physical Workflow? This is certainly possible in the STAAD data file which can have multiple definitions applied simultaneously in a single load case, e.g.
LOAD 1 LOADTYPE Wind TITLE WIND FROM LEFT (+X) LOAD CASE
WIND LOAD X 0.8 TYPE 1
WIND LOAD -Z -0.7 TYPE 1
WIND LOAD -X 0.5 TYPE 1
WIND LOAD -Z 0.7 TYPE 1
...
In the Physical modeller, yes a load case is currently limited to have a single definition applied in a single direction. To account for the wind on each face, create four load cases, one for each face and then combine with the appropriate factor, e.g.
