Good day,
I am confused by the meaning of Base reactions, I created a model for a rather simple 1 story 3m high building to which I applied a static lateral load, the resulting BASE reactions were off the wall. So I created an even simpler model with just 1 cantilever beam to which I applied a simple compression force, in joint reactions the reaction was simply the opposite of the force I applied with no moments. However in BASE reactions I get a very high moment? Why is that? What does base reactions stand for?
Thank you
