Gay chat, wind calculations...... The mind boggles....

Sorry for Slow reply, just done our local Fireworks. All very strange I have tried different computers and different browsers. It seems to calculate the total windload correctly it just seems to calculate the pullout force calculation it seems to throw up the anomaly. I can't see where it is going wrong.

For some reason it seems to be only putting 1mm as the screw penetration, despite putting 80mm in the dropdown box.

I'm off over there now to collect some kit I will see if they can look at it while I'm there.

Only will take a small modification for me to resolve this. Does anyone know what the pull out force is for a 6mm fixing into 0.7mm Steel cladding....

Thank you, does seem a very strange quirk. I have tried in Chrome and Explorer. May try Firefox.

This is all because a noncom on our audit, appears we have to do the jobs of our mounting system manufacturers. We used Metasol for a large agricultural project. Fantastic system, comes with a TUV certificate to show it passed maximum wind loads up to Zone 4. Not good enough......

I asked Jim to check it his end when I saw him at lunchtime but he said he had a pile of quotes to get through before he would be able to. Bear with them they will find out where the problem lays.

I've had problems using the wind loading as a standalone module, but it worked when you do the whole project through from the start.
