Foundations

Each foundation can be assigned detailed load data (vertical, horizontal, moment, distributed load) and geometric properties.

Shallow foundations, pile foundations, micro-piles, jet grout columns, and deep mixing (DSM) column-supported foundations are supported.

Foundation Definition Features

Shallow, piled, and micro-piled foundations can be defined with rectangular, circular, or polygonal geometries.
Rigid columns can be added beneath foundations for ground improvement.
These rigid columns can be modeled using DSM (Deep Soil Mixing), jet grouting, or stone column methods.
Loads can be applied to foundations as:
- Vertical loads
- Horizontal loads
- Moments
- Distributed loads
For polygonal pile caps and shallow foundations, automatic pile placement can be performed based on user-defined spacing.
Piles and rigid columns can also be manually assigned to specific points on the foundation.
Voids or internal openings can be defined within rectangular, circular, or polygonal foundation shapes.
