Foundation creating

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I 've modeled a steel frame structure and i want to add continuous footing foundation to it.

How is this possible? Is there a way to create it and appear on my model? And as for the loads, is there a way to get the loads from the building automatically or should i do it manually?

RC Beam (rectangular, T or upside down T section (T with 180 deg gamma angle)) with Bar Elastic Ground property.

Thanks a lot for your fast response.

What about an individual footing?

What about an individual footing?

Ordinary nodal support

Yeah, but if i want to calculate the reinforcement of the individual footing, then i have to give the loads to it manually?

No, just select supporting node and import it to RC Footing module.
The same way like for continuous footing.
