Wind

Apply wind is a two-step process with AutoPIPE

Easy and by Segments

AutoPIPE automatically generates wind profiles according to the chosen standard, in addition to supporting user profiles. Enter the ground elevation and wind direction and you will quickly have your wind cases created.

In addition, indicate the pipe segments affected by the wind, and can be included or excluded the segments at any time. This feature allows turning off the wind in the segments inside the building and having the outer segments active>

For the combinations, just include them in your Analysis Set so that AutoPIPE combines them with the other cases. AutoPIPE understands it directly as Occasional and applies the corresponding admissible values as such.

BTW, AutoPIPE allow up to 10 different wind profiles in a calculation, so you can have different scenarios in a single calculation.
