hi everyone, I am trying to use SAP2000 v17 wind load pattern with the IS 875 . Do someone know a tutorial that explains step by step this subject?

See this thread
For IS wind load, I don't believe there is any option for open frame wind load generation, only auto-generation of wind loads per rigid diaphragm extents or manually assigning wind coefficients to area assignments. In addition to assigning wind coefficients to walls in your model, you can also draw dummy/null areas to assign wind coef. using area property "NONE".

Use SAP2000 documentation and go under manuals>Lateral load manual and you'll find more specifics on how IS 875 is handled
