Piles
Geometry Modelling
Piles are modelled as beam elements. These elements can be connected to the relevant nodes of the plates ( pile cap).
Supports for piles: Intermediate nodes may be added along the piles (about 1m intervals), and then lateral spring constants can be added. For the end bearing pipes the bottom most nodes can be assigned with a pinned support.
