 Is STAAD.Pro has this efficient transfer of force from a wide flange used as a column to a concrete pedestal both designed in a single file? Or do I need to model them separately?

Thank you for your answer. What do you mean by spring support?&lt;br /&gt;What I initially did was creating an infinitely stiff material then assigning it to the beam that represents the bearing pad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could you please elaborate?Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Pedestal</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/776541?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 Aug 2023 05:39:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:41e82ddb-a6f3-4a37-96d5-9ebd1bfbea19</guid><dc:creator>DSANJU</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Answer to Q-1.
