*WIND
22.2 *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

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 x-direction velocity constant, (default value 1.0).
4. Local y-direction velocity constant, (default value 1.0).
5. x-direction cosine defining the direction of the unit vector (the wind local x-axis) with respect
to the global coordinate system. In three-dimensional cases both x- and y-components are
needed; in two-dimensional cases only the x-component is used.
6. y-direction cosine defining the direction of the unit vector (the wind local x-axis) with respect
to the global coordinate system. This component is not needed in two-dimensional cases.
7. (default value 1/7).
