Snow generator

Snow generator enables the user to subject a structure to the effect of snow. It is possible to apply values and formulas given in a particular standard, or specify a user-defined value of snow weight.

The load calculated from the given snow definition is applied on the planar section of the structure. The section is defined by the current working plane. Thus, various sections may be subject to various generated loads.

Note 1: The snow load generator may be used to generate the load on a single planar section of the structure at a time. The section is defined by the current working plane. The working plane MUST be defined as vertical. Otherwise, the snow load generator cannot be applied.

Note 2: The snow load generator can be used ONLY on an undivided building. If a structure consists of two or more separate and unconnected parts in the particular planar section, the load is generated on one of the parts only.
