I have a column with two perpendicular loads at the top, and on "XY" plan. Both loads are assigned to the same joint, and we can call them as "Fx" and "Fy" loads. Both pattern are "DEAD LOAD", and each one is assigned a "Load Case": "LOAD1" and "LOAD2". What happens is, when we run the analysis, only the base reactions belonging to one of the loads appears in the results! Strange, because I think I have done everything right. Or have I not?!

Can anyone give me an help?

Are loads applied to the same load pattern? Reaction are reported for each separate load pattern or load combination.
