Risa 3d Wood wall Axial loading

Risa 3d Wood wall Axial loading

(OP)
Hi there,
I have been playing around with Risa3d for wood shearwalls. I am having trouble getting distributed axial load to transmit into the studs.

I have tried applying the udl directly to the top of the wall panel, as well as creating a dummy member as recommended in this tutorial. http://www.woodworks.org/wp-content/uploads/RISA-T...

The forces in the members seem to be calculated correctly for lateral loads, but for some reason gravity loads do not to transmit into the model, and the stud axial loads show as 0.

Any tips would be appreciated, Thanks!

RE: Risa 3d Wood wall Axial loading

If you go to your Load Combinations spreadsheet and look on the Design tab, none of your gravity load cases are selected as the ones you want to do wood design for.
