Pond load - water accumulation

Parameters

Name	Defines the name of the load. It may facilitate the identification of the load.
Loaded beams	Informs about the loading conditions.
Direction	Specifies the direction of the load.
Storage capacity	Specifies the capacity of the roof.
Other reasons	Specifies an additional height.
Division	Specifies the division used for the calculation.
Max number of steps	Defines maximum number of steps during the calculation.
Use other permanent load	If ON, other permanent load may be included.
Status	Tells the status of he calculation.

Detailed parameters -Points

No.	Automatically generated vertex number.
X, Y	Co-ordinates of vertex of loading polygon.
Height	Type of definition of water height. Input: The height is manually input. Point: The height is calculated from the value at different point using the given slope. Calculate: The height is calculated from defined slopes.
H	Defines the water height.
Point	Only if Height is set to Point: Defines the point from which the height is calculated.
Slope	Only if Height is set to Point: Defines the slope from the selected point.

Detailed parameters -Drains

Point	Number of point.
Location	Location of the drain.
hdn	depth of the emergency drain above the roof or roof edge, in m
A	roof area (vertical projection at ground plane) that drains using a certain emergency drain, in m2
b	width of the drain

Detailed parameters -Slopes

The user may define subregions where planar shape is assumed. Only three points may have the height defined. The remaining points are calculated. In case of any conflict, the area is not permitted.
