Raft analysis is a soil-structure interaction analysis, iterating between a solution of the structural analysis using Gss and the soil analysis using Pdisp until convergence of nodal displacements is achieved

The Display Methods page of the Labels and Display Methods dialog box is where the form and colour of the various element types may be specified and where the drawing of unattached nodes may be specified.
The Pile interaction module defines the interface between the nodes on pile and the soil.
When modelling a raft supported on soil some information is needed to clarify how the soil is considered.
The Raft interaction module defines the interface between the nodes on raft and the soil. Each raft interaction node in the structure is assumed to interact with a rectangular area of soil.
