After the global structure parameters required for generating snow and wind loads (envelope, spacing, and depth) are defined, you must specify the snow and wind parameters. Depending on the snow and wind code you select, a Snow/Wind Loads dialog is displayed.
The following snow and wind codes are available in Robot:
- American snow/wind code ASCE 7-16
- snow/wind code Eurocode 1 (EN 1991-1-3:2003 - wind and EN 1991-1-4:2005 - snow)
- French snow/wind codes
- NV 65 code - Morocco
- Spanish snow/wind code NBE-AE 88
- Italian snow/wind code DM 16/1/96
- Algerian snow/wind code
- Romanian snow/wind code STAS 10101/20-90/21-92
- Polish snow/wind code PN-80/B-02010
- Polish snow/wind code PN-EN 1991-1-3/4:2005
- Russian snow/wind code SNiP 2.01.07-85
In addition to the standard buttons OK, Cancel, and Help at the bottom of the dialog, there are the following 2 buttons:
- Generate - Starts generating the snow and wind loads based on the parameter values specified in the Snow/wind Loads dialog. This automatically creates load cases for a structure according to the requirements of the selected snow/wind load code.
- Generate 3D - Opens the Snow/wind loads - 3D geometry dialog.
