![]() However, when I copy/rotated this thing to grab all 3 segments, it became unwieldy. As the wind rotated from 0 to 120 degrees, I broke the loads into their X and Z components. How I approached this was to build 1 of the 3 sections, apply the discrete loads as point loads, and apply distributed loads to all the members. ![]() ![]() This is probably excessive but I'm really using this specific case as an exercise to better learn RISA. I'd like to apply wind loads in 15° increments for 120° around the structure to capture all potential load cases. In this case, the structure and its discrete loads are symmetrical on 120° increments but that's not always the case. There are also discrete loads attached to the vertical pipes. Structure in question is similar to the attached. I'm a relatively new user to RISA 3D and am having some trouble coming up with the simplest way to apply loads to a structure.
