Problem with wind load

Product Support

Good morning,
I have a student version of Dlubal software for 1 year. I installed RFEM, RSECTION. I am designing an aluminum hall with an arched roof. I applied snow loads and wanted to perform a wind simulation.
The program generated load combinations, but after calculating the structure, an error appears. The self-weight is calculated, the snow is calculated, but the wind is not. Also, in the error messages, the text appears: "No license for wind simulation." Therefore, what should I do? Should I apply wind loads manually somehow? How? And is it possible for an arched roof?
If I download RWIND3, will the problem disappear? And as a student, do I have RWIND free for one year as well?

Thank you in advance for your help!

RWIND is not included in the student license.
However, you can use the 90-day trial version and activate it as described here:

If you’re working on a thesis or a similar academic project and need more time, please let us know why you require a student license for RWIND. We’ll be happy to review your request individually. :blush:
