These numbers do not add up to the total load, they will usually be much more. It is also possible for a single member to have more force than the total load, although that does not often happen in model bridge designs. Andrew,

You would think that if you applied a load of 50, the numbers would show how much of that weight each member was under. For example: in a 7 member bridge, 4 members would say 5, and the other 3 would say 10. It does not do that. What do the numbers mean??? What exactly do the numbers represent?
