Regarding the Case -1

Lets compare your condition with the real life situation .

Take a beam whose ends are pinned and load it will load DL . After attaining a deflected shape , lets somehow lock the pinned supports or grout  the end fixity   and then add more load and then analyze the structure .

As far as I know , there is no  such direct way to model  such condition in Staad .

However, indirectly you could   simulate such situation .

First , analyze the beam model (pinned ends) with Dead Load (DL) . From the out-put files or post-processing mode, note down the deflected shape and internal forces like moment , shear etc .

Now, model another structure in seperate Staad file of the same beam . But this time , model the beam whose  shape is almost same as that of the deflected shape you noted down from the first case . Assign the end supports with fixed end support condition (inclined support may be opted  ) , then apply the LL load here and run the analysis .

You would get the deflected value and the end forces of the new structure .

Eventually , add the deflected values and internal forces reported from both the models to know the actual result .

If the above suggestion suffice your requirement then you can use it for the Case 2 .
