Hello,
I am new to Staad and am unsure how to add spring supports to the top of my structure. I am modeling a simple two column, 1 beam frame with spring supports (absorption pads) that connect the frame to the composite slab above.
My question is, how do I add spring supports at the top of nodes 4 and 5?
You can go to support and define a fixed but support with spring values as per steps shown below.
