Hello Friends

Need some help. after importing the foundation forces (Multiple column supports) and moments to SAFE from SAP2000, what I find the LOAD WIND and Earthquake are not imported. Earthquake is defined as response spectrum and wind load as user specified. Dead, Live load above the defined elevation (at fnd level) and Modal loads are imported correctly. Where I have gone wrong.
Your suggestion will be helpful.

Refer to CSI reference manual, where details for importing data among CSI software are clearly described.
 
Following Link might be helpful to some extent.

A good structural engineer is often a blessing for others.
 
Thanks for your reply, but no where (in the manual) I have found how the load under response spectrum are transferred from Sap2000 to SAFE. I think its only the linear pattern can get imported. The load from spectrum loading under column may have to be added manually.
