I have found it yields smoother results if I divide up large point loads, say from a column, and place them at the four corners of the column, or some other similar arrangement, depending on geomtry. Then it is simply a matter of adding loads and running the analysis. ![]() To define the spring, you will need the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction for the soils. Make sure you define the springs as tension only in the vertical direction. Then I create spring supports using the plate mat support type, which is located under the foundation tab. I lay out the mat using plate elements set to the thickness of the mat. I have designed several mats using Staad without any additional modules.
