I have an airplane and have done a gust response analysis - for a discrete vertical gust. I used the nastran example from chapter 9 section 1. How can I do a side gust analysis - gust 90 degree angle to gravity vector? Can you point me to an example.

    For both the vertical and the lateral gust, the vehicle is being accelerated by the gust – so the full weight is part of the problem setup. So the gust load I would report to stress engineers would be 1g trim plus the set of around the clock (incremental) gust loads. Various locations of the vehicle will have different critical gust directions for the gust loads.


    Sanjay – thanks for responding. The dialog is helping me straighten out my thinking.
