If I am doing a simple, static analysis on something like a table, or tripod with a vertical force acting on it, what support condition do I assign to the base at which the legs contact the ground? I feel like it is incorrect to specify this as "fixed," since that would be like saying the legs are bolted/welded to the ground and not truly representative of the system. All of the simulation tutorials with tables that I can find just assume the base is fixed.
