Ram SS Row of Single Piles Under A Bearing Wall

I have a 12' high bearing wall with a row of helical piles at the base of the wall.  At the top of the wall, I will be supporting floor beams at 5' OC and columns that are spaced at 20' apart.  The piles will be spaced at 4'-6".

Does Ram SS assume the wall is rigid and distributes the gravity loads along the length of the wall?  Or does Ram SS not distribute the gravity loads and simply transmit them straight down?

I have never used a pile foundation with Ram SS before and was not sure it would be able to model this type of structure accurately.
