Hi Gabel,
Thank you very much for your response. I had surmised load is assumed to go to stiffness based on my search through the archives here. While I didn't see any posts that stated this, it seemed that is was alluded to.
I don't have any reason to doubt the numbers I'm seeing since all member properties are included in the model. But the old saying is you don't reinvent something that has been shown through history to work.
Hopefully somebody else will take the opportunity to set me straight.
Thanks again.
