standalone.loads

---

The standalone.loads namespace provides functions to manage sessions for wind speed, wind design and snow calculations.

---

standalone.loads.start

At the beginning of every API session, the session must be started. This function must be the first function in the array. This initiates a session and will return a session_id which can be used in subsequent calls made in the following 30 minutes to skip the verification process, thereby dramatically reducing the time to response.

important

The start function must always be the first function even if session_id is provided.

Key	Type	Accepts	Description	Default
keep_open	boolean	true, false	If the session should be kept on standby. If true, subsequent calls to the API using the session_id provided from the first call in lieu of key, will be 4-8x faster.	false

Sample input for standalone.loads.start

{

"function": "standalone.loads.start",

"arguments": { "keep_open": true }

}

After authenticating using the API key, the response object will contain some useful information. The session_id key can be used to make further calls to the same session, skipping authentication. The session_expiry_time provides an approximate Unix time until the session expires. After this, the user must re-authenticate using their API key.

tip

The returned session_id can be provided in the auth object of subsequent calls to make the request faster.

standalone.loads.getLoads

Using the below variables, users can get the wind speed, snow loads and wind pressures from ASCE 7, AS1170, NBCC, Eurocode Design Standards, IS 875, NSCP 2015, and Comisón Federal de Electricidad (CFE Viento).

Try standalone.loads.getLoads

Relevant components

• The site_data object
• The building_data object
• (Optional) project_details object
• (Optional) site_analysis object
• (Optional) api_version int

The response will return design wind speed, elevations, topography, wind and snow pressures and confirm the address of the site location under the key wind_speed. In addition to this, if the terrain data is requested (user provides wind_direction and exposure keys) it will also return topography data:
