# No Results are Displayed

Why the Beam on Elastic Foundation module reports no results or an Invalid Model message.

## Why does the Beam on Elastic Foundation module report no results or a message about "Invalid Model"?

The Beam on Elastic Foundation module uses analytical springs to idealize the behavior of compressible soil. But the solver does not have the ability to deactivate springs that tend to go into tension. This means that the module is incapable of properly analyzing conditions where the resultant falls outside the kern and some portion of the footing has zero soil pressure.

If this condition is detected, the program suppresses results and displays a banner in the upper-right corner of the screen to announce that the beam has upward, off-soil deflection, and that the model is invalid.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/sel-faq/using-the-software/calculation-modules/foundations2/foundations/no-results-are-displayed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
