Beam points assigned SAM are not listed in SAM Group in input file, etc.

Hello,

I have a couple of questions about SAM

1. Why are the beam anchor points listed in “Seismic Anchor Movements and Displacements” but not included in “SAM / MSRS SUPPORT GROUPS” in input file? See highlighted in red below. Does this mean the SAMs at the beam points are not included in the seismic analysis ? See page 195 to 196 of .RPT (input) file.

2. There is only one SAM case defined in the model which is S1, why is SAM2 showed in the output ? Is SAM2 for S1 case Group 2 ?

Thanks,

Geping
