Hi! I'm new to the software. Could you please let me know if it is possible to model a slab supported by walls only at all sides without modelling any beam in ETABS?

Will the loads of the slab be able to transferred to below structure through wall only?

If the loads of the slab cannot be transferred to below beam through wall (as shown in picture below), could you please let me if there is a way to model such structure?

Thanks a lot!
