Add Snow and Ice load to structural and pipe members

Snow loads should be considered in the GR load case during analysis and design for static seismic loads, to account for the contribution of snow mass to horizontal seismic inertia forces.

    I want an option to input a coefficient for adjusting snow load based on short-term and long-term loads.

    Regarding snow load, KHK seismic code (Japanese seismic design code including piping) mentioned "Snow load shall be included in Operating piping weight.". Technical word discription in the end of KHK LEVEL 1 2012 edition mentions like this.
