Plant Footings
- Specific modules for the plant industry such as vertical vessel foundation and heat exchanger foundation
- Built-in load types like “empty,” “operating,” “test,” and ”Bundle pull force”
- Annular Ring Tank Foundation based on API 650, ACI 318, PIP Guidelines, ASCE 7 (IS 456 and IS 875 III for Indian Code)
- Lateral analysis of Drilled Pier/Driven Pile. Dual non-linear analysis, non-linear soil response and pile section. Fourteen predefined soil types, four predefined sections. Simplified inputs for Structural Engineers
- Automatically load combination generation based on ASCE 7 and PIP STC 01015
- Automatically generates wind load and zip-code based seismic load based on ASCE 7
- Now supports Indian code, concrete design per IS 456, Wind Load generation per IS 875 III and Seismic load generation per IS 1893 I
- Calculates time period
- Vertical vessel foundation can be on soil, octagonal, or square pile cap foundation toolkit features
- Time-saving wizard-based input for (isolated) footings, strip (combined) footings, pile cap arrangement and design
- Input parameters categorized and arranged to flow per design procedure.
- Editable geometry view, enabling graphical footing dimensions
- Drilled pier axial analysis module supporting API and FHWA 1999 and alternative vesic method
- Guyed tower foundation module based on ACI 318
General Footings
- Intuitive user-friendly graphical user interface; the workflow is categorized and arranged to flow from top to bottom
- Complete foundation project environment that includes isolated, combined, strip, pile cap, octagonal footing, and mat foundations; it connects all the modules through a global layer
- Tabbed view, navigator tree, and floating toolbar
- Modeling wizard for rectangular mat foundation
- Physical mat foundation modeling environment that saves time and reduces errors
- Physical loading—like point load on space, quadrilateral load, circular load, or line load that allows user to simulate tank loading and wall loading
- Seamlessly integrates with STAAD.Pro V8i to import loadings, reactions, column positions; users can import any set of analyzed plates to design; tracks changes made in STAAD.Pro V8i model and can merge the changes with STAAD. foundation V8i file
- Powerful OpenGL-based graphics that help visualize output like displacements, stress on displaced shape, combined beam stress, and entities like plates and beams in 3D for a realistic rendered view
- Automatically transfers loads from the top of the pedestal to the base of the footing
- Automatically arranges piles
- Physical beam
- Automatically generates meshes while considering holes, control regions, and column lines; provides an option for both triangular and quadrilateral plates output
- DXF export of detailed and ga layout drawing to produce site drawing
- Detailed structural drawing of each footing with customizable drawing options and labels
- Base pressure and plate stress color contour
- Step-by-step detailed calculation sheet with code clauses and equations to verify output
- GA (general arrangement) drawing with grid mark that can be optimized, and to-scale drawing that detects overlaps and aids in selection of foundation type
- Foundation grouping for production drawing and sample calculation
