Wind auto lateral load per ASCE 7-05

Two options are available for application per , including the following:wind auto-lateral-load ASCE 7-05

Use Exposure from Diaphragms and specify the case applicable within Figure 6-9:

Figure 6-9 - ASCE 7-05 wind load pattern

Use Exposure from Area Objects as follows:

When using Exposure from Area Objects, all wind loads are applied normal to the planes of area objects. To control the applied wind pressure,different coefficients may be specified for each object using the Assign > Area Loads > Wind Pressure Coefficients (Shells) option.Cp shellAdditional information is available in the manual, located under Help > Documentation > Manuals > Lateral LoadsAutomated Lateral LoadsManual.
