If you have questions on which load cases to copy for the 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th , and 5 th load cases, contact your Alpine Engineer for assistance. Once the new load cases are created, examples on how to modify them are listed below. First Load Case (Steeple 1) The first Load Case is based on the Gravity Load from the Steeple/Cupola. The +200 pound point loads you see below will be based off the actual weight of the steeple/cupola divided by the number of trusses it will be resting on. To apply the point loads, use the same steps from Suggestion 1 for applying point loads. An example of the first load case is shown below. Second Load Case (Steeple 2) The second load case is based on the maximum downward reaction coming from the wind overturning moment that is parallel to the ridge. The +1400 pound point loads that are shown below are calculated from the wind point load + steeple point load. Use the same steps from the first load case to add the point loads.
