My model was imported from RAM SS which had RAM frame run with all 36-E cases. Also can I model a tension only spring to find the total uplift force to see howen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/503446?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 Jan 2019 18:24:18 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cd0d8222-7566-4267-b270-8324eb2312acSeth Guthrie<p>Yes, point and line springs (as well as columns, walls, point supports and line supports) are linear, tension and compression supports.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/503444?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 Jan 2019 18:19:32 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f3300d95-f025-46f6-b7c6-ddb57524fa0eTimothy Schuster<p>does RAM have point springs that are tension only?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/503443?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 Jan 2019 18:17:26 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:1cb0ae24-3a21-4fe7-a868-435f5920bbd9Seth Guthrie<p>The soil bearing results are enveloped for the rule set, or load combination reviewed. In order to see the pressure from a single concurrent load combination including lateral loads, it has to be a single combination. not a &quot;lateral group&quot;.&nbsp;</p> <p>Area springs are always compression-only.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
