In the case of a multistory building with a Podium level and several stories of wood framing above, I want to be able to capture the effect of the vertical reaction components of the wood shear walls on the podium slab when designing the concrete gravity columns below the podium. In the concrete module, no lateral combinations are run in the analysis so I don't think this is taken in to account. In the frame module Ram only checks the lateral elements. Is there a way that I can get the vertical reactions from the shear walls sitting on the podium into the gravity columns?
