Wind Load Generation Inputs – Miscellaneous Changes

Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 10.0 and may not reflect current behavior

1. Gust Effect Factor

   The gust effect factor is still active only when Dynamic analysis (flexible buildings) is selected.

   1. Location of Input

      This input has been moved into the new data group called Directional (All heights) Method

   2. Default Value

      The default value is 0.85 rather than 1.0. 0.85 is the usual value for static analysis (rigid structures), whereas 1.0 is an arbitrary value.
