I have a question about wind load;
1- is it the same to fill out “ASCE wind Load Parameters”, or filling out the “User-Defined Wind Velocity vs Elevation”?
2- when filling in “ASCE wind load parameters”, does CAESAR II consider heights, if the global coordinates have been filled in?
Thank you

1) Assuming you compute the velocity vs elevation table the same way CAESAR II does, yes it is the same thing.

2) Yes CAESAR II considers the height of the element. So it is very important that you define the global coordinates of the first node.
