*WIND
Define wind velocity profile for wind loading.

This option is used to define a wind velocity profile for use in applying loads.

Product: ABAQUS/Aqua  

Type: Model data

Level: Model  

Reference:
There are no parameters associated with this option.

Data line to define the wind velocity profile: 

First (and only) line:

  1. Air density, .

  2. Reference height for wind profile, .

  3. Local -direction velocity constant, (default value 1.0).

  4. Local -direction velocity constant, (default value 1.0).

  5. -direction cosine defining the direction of the unit vector (the wind local -axis) with respect to the global coordinate system. In three-dimensional cases both - and -components are needed; in two-dimensional cases only the -component is used.

  6. -direction cosine defining the direction of the unit vector (the wind local -axis) with respect to the global coordinate system. This component is not needed in two-dimensional cases.

  7. (default value 1/7).
