Checking the Active box in the Reaction tab allows you to display and control analysis reaction quantities. Selecting the Standard context button displays reactions corresponding to the standard results (more information about standard and enveloping results is available in Analysis Notes ). For the standard results, you can display any number of reactions for column above/below, wall above/below, point spring/support, line spring/support, and the standard reactions used for the punching checks.

If a column above and below occur at the same location in plan, and both Column Above and Column Below boxes are checked, the sum of the reactions is shown at that location. The same holds true for walls above and below.

Walls that are defined with the same "Name" property are meshed as a Wall Element Group. The resultant reaction is plotted for the Wall Element Group and displayed at its plan centroid. The axes orientation of the wall group can be changed by selecting the Wall Group on the Element Layer, editing its properties, changing the angle, and then re-running the calculations.

The other buttons in the Context group are for the enveloped results. RAM Concept displays reactions for columns (above/below), walls (above/below), and punching shear for the envelope result of the selected context.

The "standard" reaction context values are only available for loading and load combination layers, while the six enveloped contexts are available for loading, load combination and rule set design layers.
