external loads combined with wind

[plantguyjj]

When external lateral loads are applied to a tall tower in combination with wind loading, does the software take into consideration the worst load case of wind acting in the same plane/direction as the external lateral load?

Yes. The load (shear, bending moment) due to wind is added to the vector resultant of those due to eccentric weight and any external loads.
