I am trying to model a beam connecting to the flange of a column instead of at the center. How is this modeled?

 You have to use a facility called member offsets. You "offset" the face of the beam by a distance equal to half the depth of the column cross-section. An example of this can be found in Example # 7 in the STAADPro Examples Manual.
