I am wondering how I can incorporate long term differential settlements into my pile foundation.
I have a FEM of concrete base slab containing about 200 piles (some are vertical and some are battered). The piles are modeled as spring supports. The analysis was done. Now, the geotechnical...
I do not know what I did wrong to the model, but I just could not get the correct answer if I use "START GROUP DEFINITION" command in STAAD.
At first, I thought it was a good idea to define groups of elements which are subjected to different load values. I got no error when I opened the file...
I am working on a model which I have to change part of the data file very often (coordinate of joints and/or element incidence). Can I have several input files? I do not want to browse to the line I want to replace every time I update the model.
TIA
I am performing a nonlinear analysis of a titanium tube using in hydraulic application on I-DEAS. My stress-strain curve has zero slope in non-linear range. This is the first time I use the program to do nonlinear analysis. Before this, I used NASTRAN to do the job. The result from NASTRAN looks...
