Hi guys.
I used wind definition to be used for load case.
The structure is an open structure where shielding factor is considered in the leewards as per section 8.4 of BS CP3.
After I compare manually the value of the load to be distributed for the leeward, I found out that tributary width used was the member to be loaded
rather than the value of tributary width on the windward frames since calculation of Ae is referred always on the windward frames.
Is there anyway to correct the values? or I am wrong.
Thank in advance.
Please see example in attached file.
