Analysis Wizard : Soil-Structure Progress

Definition​

Progress Information

These options are to allow the user to view the progress on the solution. The options are

  • Progress report – a dialog reports convergence as the solution progresses.
  • Show stiffness contour – a Graphic View with contours of the stiffness of the 'soil springs'.
  • Show deformed shape – show the deformation of the structure as the solution progresses. With this option the deformation magnification should also be specified.

Post-process Options

PDisp input data files may be written every specified number of iterations. This includes the pressure exerted by the raft on the soil at that iteration.

Soil stiffness from the analysis can be saved in the input data at the end of the analysis. Note that this option modifies the input data. Subsequent soil-structure analysis of any analysis case will use the saved support stiffnesses as initial soil stiffnesses, as usual.

This option is disabled if any results exist for other than soil-structure analyses.
