Dear all

When we do zik analysis (saddle design) as per PV Elite, the saddle load coming during operatibg condition is different from test condition. To make it more precise,
the output first prints for Saddle reaction force due to earthquake Ft.
In the enxt step, load combination results for Q
= saddle load + Max( Fw1,.....)

The first term saddle load is coming very small. It was an exchanger with 2 saddles. After adding saddle load (first term in the above step) for right and left saddle, total si not matching with net load
At the same time this number is found to be correct during test condition
Can anyone guide me on this issue please

Thanking You and With regards
