CALCULATION OF WIND LOADS ON STRUCTURES ACCORDING TO ASCE 7
I would just use the simpified method as a first approximation as per the attachment
to see how my structure holds up in wind. Even if the structure's design…"

Hi; Let me please ask you if there is a way to select more than one solid for the analysis. Grouping did not work out! Thanks,SevilContinue

Hello All;I did some test analyses with Scan&Solve for primitive geometries such as prisms and cubes. However, I was not able to select curvilinear geometries such as spheres, ellipsoids and also…Continue

"HI:
We are looking at Wind Loading as published by the American Society
of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
Im actually working on some simple building models now. Id like to analyse an oil drilling
structure in SnS and upload the results. I…"

"The first thing we would want to do is to determine the
maximum wind speeds that we want to design for. This should
be listed in your building codes or I found this really cool

which provides wind…"

Hi There:
I was looking at your website. You are really smart.
Im really impressed.
A projected area approach for wind loading on your
structures would give you a rough estimate of the
wind loads. I…"

"HI:
Well Im pretty much a workaholic so I dont mind help
people out on here. Once in awhile I get a good question.
I will crunch some numbers and run a simple example in
SnS for posting. Im learning SnS slowly. Its really…"

" Hi Bob;
If it won't take your time, this would be great! I work on "not" standardized building geometries, but your calculation would definitely be enlightening. The location does not matter for my study now.
Thank…"

"I can put together a wind calcualtion as it is done in
North America and post it for you. I won't get it done till
the weekend. For a retangular building its fairly straight

Turkey. I…"

"No Problem.
Computational fluid dynamics could be used to determine the flow patterns
around a group of building like in a down town core. These places produce
weird gust patterns.
The strength of the building in regards to a wind load…"

"HI:
Wind velocity is usually converted into a velocity pressure or wind force
according to a specific standard or code which would be a required
load condition according to the building code in effect in the jurisdiction

Hello;I am an architect and recently had a look to the Version 1.5 with hydrostatic loads. Personally, I aim to analyze the wind loads.I wonder if there will be a CFD add-on for the Scan & Solve in the future. I also would like to ask you if there is a method with the current features of the Scan & Solve that I can apply for computing the wind loads affecting a…See More

A projected area approach for wind loading on your

wind loads. I understand why you are interested in computational
fluid dynamics. Do you have any experince with wind tunnel testing
using scale models?
I love your designs. Rhino is perfect for modeling the
complex surfaces / geometries you are working with.
I work in the oil and gas industry using alot of standard stuctural steel sections
so my I dont get to look at things that are so architecturally beautiful.
