All parameters given for a small cladding panel
Effective Wind Area
Calculates effective wind area for cladding or supporting-member pressure checks from panel dimensions, support span, tributary width, and an explicit minimum area. The template reports panel area, member tributary area, governing effective area, and the ratio to the minimum pressure area.
