  • Can someone explain what the compressible option for column modeling entails? (In Ram Concept)

    Does assigning the compressible feature to the column takes column shortening into account therefore increasing deflections at the column? I have seen that it is usually recommended to apply to models but it would be more helpful to understand why.…
