- Wind
- Snow
- Moving loads

- Loads Combination
Before calculating area loads the distance [m] between the frames (perpendicular to the entered frame) is filled in System length (L) field. Value is describing distance between frames. For the regular in the plan structures system length could be taken as:
System length for the end frame is defined as L/2:
Also you have to choose "Building type" and "Structure type" from drop-down lists.
