Wind Exposure Data

Wind exposure data is used to calculate story\diaphragm forces in the generated wind load cases. The data is listed by story level and by diaphragm number.

SettingDescription
Exposure This flag indicates whether or not a diaphragm is exposed to the wind. Full indicates that the diaphragm is to be assigned a wind story force; None indicates that the diaphragm is not to be assigned a wind story force (any wind force is carried by the adjacent levels instead).
Parapet This is the parapet height.
