Description of the Windloading Ext.
What should the Capabilities of the extension be:
a pressure should be calculated based on wind velocity;
the pressure should be assigned in a direction; only positive pressures should be added;
pressure should also be reduced based on the orientation of the element
and the loading direction; 2 loading type: constant or gradient loading across the height of the construction; a shape factor can be assigned for different types of profiles (code check)
