Re: [Frame3dd] Multiple loads on a member or node

[walgri <wa...@gm...>]

Dear Henri,

IMO modeling elastic soil with elastic frame elements is appropriate
in most cases.  But from a post processing point of view I find to be
easier to deal with one frame element per foundation beam, hence my
suggestion to add such kind of element.

I might also volunteer to add code to Frame3DD, but not in the close
future: I guess I'll have no significant spare time (paternity).

Best regards,
walgri
