# Wind Load Calculator Skill ## Purpose The Wind Load Calculator Skill determines wind loads on structures per ASCE 7 for main wind force resisting systems (MWFRS) and components and cladding (C&C). ## Capabilities - Basic wind speed determination - Exposure category classification - Wind pressure calculation (MWFRS and C&C) - Building envelope pressures - Open building wind loads - Tornado shelter design wind loads - Internal pressure determination - Directional and envelope procedures ## Usage Guidelines ### When to Use - Calculating design wind loads - Evaluating cladding pressures - Designing MWFRS members - Assessing open structure loads ### Prerequisites - Building geometry defined - Site location established - Risk category determined - Enclosure classification identified ### Best Practices - Verify exposure category - Consider topographic effects - Check internal pressure requirements - Document wind speed sources ## Process Integration This skill integrates with: - Structural Load Analysis - Bridge Design LRFD ## Configuration ```yaml wind-load-calculator: procedures: - directional - envelope - simplified load-types: - MWFRS - C-and-C design-codes: - ASCE7-22 - ASCE7-16 ``` ## Output Artifacts - Wind pressure diagrams - Load summaries - Pressure zone maps - Calculation reports
