How i can modeling pile with SAFE2000? and do u know any software to modeling pile , i want to modeling and analysing and designing a pile plz guide to me Behzad_r@softhome.net Behzad
Saital I have not use SAFE before. But I have used STAAD to model a pile analysis. I simply model the pile into several elements with spring constant as spupports and model a vertical support at bottom, but free at top. The spring constant can be derived by using some parameters provided by the Geotechnical Engr. Please refer to the book by Bowles, "Foundation Anlaysis and Design". It tells you the methods to derive the stiffness of the soil.
A more direct method to model piles for the effects of lateral load and include soil structure interaction is to use a program called LPile, used by just about every Geotech that I know. This program utilizes input soil parameters, boundary conditions of the pile (fixed or free at the head of the pile in the cap) and calculates effective soil springs based on depth and material properties. The output will include displacement, shear and bending moment plots along the depth of the pile.

Modern vehicles are highly sophisticated systems incorporating electrical, electronic, software and mechanical components. Mechanical systems are giving way to advanced software and electronic devices, driving automakers to innovate and differentiate their vehicles via the electric and electronic (E/E) architecture. As the pace of change accelerates, automotive companies need to evolve their development processes to deliver and maximize the value of these architectures. Download Now
Modern cars, trucks, and other vehicles feature an ever-increasing number of sophisticated electrical and electronic features, placing a larger burden on the wiring harness that enables these new features. As complexity rises, current harness manufacturing methods are struggling to keep pace due to manual data exchanges and the inability to capture tribal knowledge. A model-based wire harness manufacturing engineering flow automates data exchange and captures tribal knowledge through design rules to help harness manufacturers improve harness quality and boost efficiency.

This paper will focus on the quantification of the complexity related costs in harness variations in order to model them, allowing automated algorithms to optimize for these costs. A number of real world examples will be provided as well. Since no two businesses are alike, it is the aim of this paper to provide the foundational knowledge and methodology so the reader can assess their own business to model how variation complexity costs affect their business.
