Go to geometry and click on add plate option, using node cursor drag on four corners. Use translational repeat in order to transfer the plate to rest floor. As view created for floors with equal spacing. Click on whole structure option to view the whole structure.
-Use translational repeat in order to transfer the plate to terrac floor
-And now assign it to the selected beams just as shown in the above image.
- After this now we will be adding the supports to the model frame so in order to assign the support we need to go to the elevation view select all the nodes of the base level and then assingn the fixed support after adding it to the support pannel.
- Just go to the supports option select the fixed support and then click on the option assign to the selected view just as shown in the below given image:
