I have a structural foundation using structural slab and grade beams set on drilled CIP concrete piers. I've modeled the slab as a shell element and is being carried by beams. I originally built this model in RSS and have exported to RAM Elements to use the shell FEM. However, I'm having trouble understanding the RC Beam Design Output report. Searching I found this:
https://communities.bentley.com/other/old_site_member_blogs/bentley_employees/b/beth_suminski_blog/posts/did-you-know-ram-elements-for-concrete-design-amp-detailing
But my report does not look like this as add'l lines are added and it doesn't seem to make much sense to me (report w/ screenshot attached). Can someone please point me in the right direction of how to read this report correctly?
Thanks

Thanks Enrique - I suspected as such but I'm curious why it's showing no reinforcing for all loads though?
