The SimCenter Pile-Group Tool provides a dynamic interface to study the behavior of a pile or pile-group in layered soil. It allows the user to interactively (and nearly instantly) observe the system's response to changes of the following parameters:
soil structure (up to 3 layers of variable thickness) and soil properties
position of the ground water table
pile stiffness, embedment length, connection type to the pile cap
number of piles in the group (one to three piles)
the applied horizontal force at the pile cap (push-over analysis)
Presented results include:
lateral displacement of all piles
moment and shear diagrams for each
vertical soil stresses
ultimate strength and stiffness parameters for the employed p-y springs
New in this release:
extension to lateral and axial loads, as well as moment on pile cap
push-over and pull-out analysis
lateral spreading/liquefaction analysis through quasi-static soil motion profile
additional results plots: axial load and displacement, t-z spring parameters
save to and load from file (JSON)
export OpenSees source file for current system and loads
switch from QCP to Qwt
switch from GPL3 to BSD license
performance enhancements for a more fluent user experience
