Pitched Portal Frame — Wind + Gravity
Pitched portal frame with a 15 kN horizontal wind load at the eave and a 10 kN/m UDL on the windward rafter; combined loading produces a 96 kN·m peak moment in the rafter and zero moment in the leeward column.

All reaction values are computed by the StatIQ structural engine, not generated text. Signs follow the solver's convention: a positive Ry acts upward, a negative Ry downward; a positive M is counter-clockwise.
