CHAPTER 7 "CARGOES" 70 In SCADA Pro, the automatic calculation of the influence surfaces for the linear members was completed and integrated in order to distribute the wind and snow loads. OBSERVATION: Recall that until now automatic allocation was only done for constructions coming from the standard ones. It is now possible to perform this allocation on any surface defined by the designer. Let's take a closer look at Manual , Semi-Automatic and Automatic : Selecting the command opens the following dialog box In the part concerning the old definition of influence surfaces nothing has changed as well as the function of the "Pick" button where it hides the dialog box and displays the existing influence surfaces, has remained the same. However, a part has been added on the right concerning the definition of the surface with three points. The definition of the surface is always done on the specific wall that is active in the window It is advisable before starting either manual or semi-automatic , to reset everything that exists by pressing the "Reset Members" button. ATTENTION: In the automatic process that comes from the Standard Constructions DO NOT press the "Zero Members" button, because the automatic distribution of the loads to the members will be deleted!!!
