Load type > Mean lift

Definition of the lifting component of a wind loading across the element axis (wind direction normal to the axis) (q-l = cl * Rho * v^2 / 2).

Setting	Description
From, To, Step	Element series to be loaded
Assembly	Alternative to load assignment via element series: Name of the assembly to be loaded. The specified load is applied to every element of the specified assembly.
Rho	Air density (tons per volume unit) Note: No default value. The density must be explicitly specified. (Value appr. 0.00125 t/m^3; mass unit always tons t, cannot be changed)
Alpha	Attack angle (angle of incidence, angle between the local z-axis of the element and the wind direction, positive from +z to the wind direction in direction +y Note: Loads in negative z-direction may be modeled either by defining an attack angle of 180° or by specifying a negative drag coefficient
v-beg	Wind velocity at element begin
v-end	Wind velocity at element end Note: The load intensity q-l = cl * Rho * v^2 / 2 is calculated for the element begin and element end, and then applied as trapezoidal load.
cl	Lift coefficient, positive, if the force acts in the +y direction.
cd'	Derivation of drag coefficient with respect to alpha (irrelevant for static loading).
Options: None, Mult. by CS width, Mult. by CS depth	None: Area included in the lift coefficient (q = cl * Rho * v^2 / 2) Mult. By CS width: Lift coefficient related to the cross-section width b (q-l = cl * b * Rho * v^2 / 2) Mult. By CS depth: Lift coefficient related to the cross-section depth h (q-l = cl * h * Rho * v^2 / 2)
