Boundary Conditions

• Assign fixed all SUPPORTS to

bottom nodes (footing)

1. Node/Element >
Supports
2. Fix all DOF’s
3. Select base nodes
Perform Analysis

1. Run model with fixed

base
Results: Deformations

• Check Deformations

1. Results > Deformations > Displacements

Contours
2. DXYZ under Self Weight Load
Results: Reactions

• Check Vertical Reactions

1. Results > Reactions > FZ

Update File for Soil Springs

1. Save As Soil Springs Constant

File
2. Delete Fixed Boundary
Apply Spring Supports

• Assign Constant Soil Springs

to bottom nodes (footing)

1. Node/Element > Spring S

upports
2. Fix all DOF’s except SDz
3. Select base nodes
4. Apply SDz 15000 kN/m
Spring stiffness
Results: Settlement

• Run Analysis, Check Deformations

1. Results > Deformations >

Displacements Contours
2. DXYZ under Self Weight

1. Settlement Results can be

probed into table
2. Copy results into Excel Sheet
 Update Springs in Gen
Spring Stiffness table

1. Get Spring Stiffness K from Geotech

nical engineer.
2. K = Reactions RZ / settlement DZ
3. Update springs in Gen model
Perform Analysis

1. Run model with updated

soil springs
