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) |
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 |
v-beg | Wind velocity at element begin |
v-end | Wind velocity at element end |
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 |
