ANSWER:
When the user selects "Piles Integral with cap " option then the program analyzes the substructure/abutment as a frame and the piles will act as part of the frame.
If the option "Cap as continuous beam " is selected then the program analyzes the pile cap as a Continuous beam and piles will act as support.
