Snow Load Wizard

The Snow Load Wizard in RFEM 6 facilitates the standard-compliant application of snow loads to the members and surfaces of a model.

Info

This load wizard can be used if the loaded surface corresponds to a rectangular flat roof, monopitch roof, or duopitch roof.

For these roof shapes, you can define the roof type and the corresponding corner nodes in the load wizard.
