why Fy = 0 when i give a point load on foundation

Question

I give -20 kN/m (point load) on my shallow foundation but when i calculate it. there is no any Fy apllied to my project 
 ps. I activate oint load already 
 Thank you

Hello Rachata, FY is the resulting reaction on the nodes when a prescribed displacement is applied. You may refer to an article (introduction) in the link here to know when a force load is used, how much a load step is applied per step via SMstage: communities.bentley.com/.../how-to-get-a-load---displacement-curve-using-scripting-interface

Hello again, Rachata, You may define multiple phases with an increment of the load in each phase = 2 kN/m2, e.g., Phase_1: 2 kN/m2, Phase_2: 4 kN/m2, etc.
