Hi forum Members,
Iam having trouble dealing with wind load generator.
I started off by reading the STAAD Technical Manual.
Then I also had look at wind load generation example file.
But when I modelled the wind load on a 3D structure , I got peculiar results.
The wind load is to be applied on west face of #D structure.
It looks roughly like this
A 1------1 B
1 1
1 1
C 1------1 D
1 1
1 1
1------1-----------1
1 1 1
1 1 1
1 1 1
When the wind load was applied, and checked, the load on node A and B were not equal,they differed by a significant amount. Same was the case with node C and D.
Can somebody point as to what may be the cause of this anomaly.
