Pile Group Analysis Module

An advanced tool for analyzing pile groups under complex soil and load conditions.

Module Description

Pile Group Analysis is the most advanced pile group analysis program available. The program uses a finite element model to simulate a wide range of non-linear behavior.

While other programs use simple rigid body principles to determine the distribution of forces to individual piles, Pile Group Analysis does a comprehensive analysis of the pile-soil interaction to determine the distribution.

Technical Specifications

  • Delivers true soil–structure interaction, going far beyond rigid‑body assumptions used in simpler tools.
  • Powered by an advanced finite‑element engine that captures nonlinear behavior with remarkable accuracy — without requiring engineers to build the model themselves.
  • Streamlined workflow with only four input dialogs, letting you move from loads to results with exceptional speed.
  • Models skin friction, depth‑dependent slip thresholds, nonlinear horizontal subgrade modulus, soil plastic limits, and tip stiffness for realistic performance.
  • Generates to‑scale pile layout graphics with DXF export for clean documentation and review.
  • Produces polished Word‑compatible RTF reports, ensuring long‑term accessibility and easy submittal formatting.
  • Flexible US/metric units, user‑defined defaults, and a simple one‑file project structure keep the workflow clean and efficient.
  • Sold as a stand‑alone tool — no need to buy a full structural suite just to analyze pile groups.
