Advanced nodal support

[Grohl]

Hi.

I've tested three slabs with different nodal supports.

1. Pinned support

2. Pinned support with dimension a=1000mm b=1000mm h=1000mm

3. Pinned support with column a=1000mm b=1000mm

Why is not support 2. giving me reduction of forces like number support 3?

See attached files

Because support type 2. is intended only to enable some approximative view of the dimensions of spread footing when "Support shapes" are activated in the display of attributes.

Useful when displaying some plan of foundations.

Reduction of forces is not made for such support.
