Compression only supports not working

      I have a model which I can only get to run by turning on weak springs. The compression only supports are defined on the support holes and are not reporting any reaction at all, like they are not even there.  Why would they not pick up any reactions?

      Hi James,

      Can you share the snapshot of the model setup? Also, what if you fix the holes and see the load distribution?

      Regards,

      Hi Ashish, I've discussed this with the lead engineer. We are changing the boundary conditions to fixed supports.  I do not need to persue this any further, thanks.
