I am a first time user of FEA, which i need for a odd shaped transfer slab.
I am using Robot 20.1
Question is what is the best model for the column slab connection. I have done both with very differant results
1. fixed point connection
2. modeled column with base pinned connection.
Previously I would take 50% of the frame column strip moment into the column, should i follow this practice.
any advise or good referance material appricated
