As stated earlier, there are two ways to define snow load in SCIA Engineer.
The actual load may be calculated to a specific technical standard or it may be derived from a user-defined snow weight. The type of snow load can be adjusted in the Project Setup dialogue on tab Load.
If option Code is selected, the user may then specify additional parameters defined in the particular national standard. The sample picture below show dialogues for the adjustment of code related parameters for EC standard.
If option Snow weight is adjusted, the user must define the snow weight typical for the region in consideration.
Note: The type of snow load adjusted in this Project Setup dialogue is later used when function Load > Snow generator is applied.
