Reducing Load Transfer Errors Caused by Slab Layout

If there is partial discontinuity on any edge of the slab from the StatiCAD program (ie, only 1 m of the 4 m slab edge is supported), the program considers the relevant edge to be supported. And it tries to transfer the load to the corresponding edge of the slab. Loads on the non-supported part of the slab cannot be transferred. In order to prevent this situation, defining an imaginary girder beam, even if it is zero cm high, eliminates the load transfer error.
