The official tool homepage for the PileGroupTool is here 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: fixes an issue opening model files created by the latest release
