Wood Wall Panel Holddown Design

I have a wood wall panel that I am trying to make a 2d model of. The wall has gravity loading, and in-plane shear due to wind. The wall will be supported on a continuous footing, and so I am designing it as continuously pinned. When I analyze the wall I'm not getting any results for my hold down design, nor am I getting any moment in the x direction. The in-plane lateral loading should give me a tension chord and a compression chord, but since my results aren't showing any moment there is no tension and thus no hold down design. Thank you in advance for your help!

Assuming your load combinations are correct per the governing design code, if there is adequate dead load, then the wall can not overturn and you wouldn't need a hold-down.
 
I've noticed sometimes if your wall segments don't meet aspect ratio requirements, results will not be computed and you won't necessarily get an obvious warning or error message.
 
Why wall design method are you using in RISA? Segmented, Perforated or FTAO?
