Patch Loading in midas Civil

In grillage models, can midas introduce patch loading i.e. applying loads on any part of the grillage without worrying about creating an actual node or element below the load application area. This is similar to how for plate elements, there is a plane load option. To simulate the plane load on grillage deck, the developers can use similar concept of how midas Civil distributes moving loads via cross beams. Will be very useful  to apply irregular loads on the grillage.
