How do I input piles for my basemat?
You will need to input springs at pile locations using stiffness values equivalent to that of the pile. In order to draw a spring, you will first need to use ‘Draw Point Object’ and click at pile locations. You can draw the points by snapping to grids, or by drawing the points, then right clicking each of them to modify XY coordinates. After drawing your ‘pile’ points, select them by clicking them or windowing around them, then Assign > Column Supports > Add New Property, and checkbox Spring Constants Option to input spring values for the piles.
