I have a parking garage I modeled with ramps. It is linked to ram concept. At the columns where the ramp occurs I get very large shear values in the columns regardless if they are modeled as gravity elements or lateral elements:

Should I ignore these? The shear reactions are should balance each other from the PT loading at each side based on reactions view within concept from hyperstatic loading.
