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.

with-tool: The model is given an executable Python calculator script.

How this task is generated

One template produces many comparable benchmark tasks while keeping the scoring contract fixed.

  1. 01

    Template

    The reusable contract shown on this page.

  2. 02

    Scenario

    An archetype and site context are sampled.

  3. 03

    Difficulty tier

    Inputs may be hidden at harder tiers.

  4. 04

    Task prompt

    The model responds with the declared outputs.

Parameters

Inputs the model receives, and the outputs it is scored on.

Inputs

5 inputs

Always given

Included directly in every task prompt.

Scored outputs

4 outputs

Panel area m2

panel_area_m2

Cladding panel area

Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.

Member tributary area m2

member_tributary_area_m2

Supporting member tributary area

Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.

Effective wind area m2

effective_wind_area_m2

Effective wind area for pressure coefficient selection

Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.

Area averaging ratio

area_averaging_ratio

Effective area divided by minimum effective area

Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.

Difficulty

Each template is sampled at three tiers. Harder tiers may hide inputs, forcing the model to infer them from the scenario description.

All inputs remain visible at every tier

For this template, difficulty scales through parameter and scenario ranges rather than hidden information.

easy:
All parameters given for a small cladding panel
medium:
All parameters given across small and large facade areas
hard:
All parameters given for large facade support areas
