Boundary Conditions
• Assign fixed all SUPPORTS to bottom nodes (footing)
1. Node/Element > Supports
2. Fix all DOF’s3. Select base nodes
Perform Analysis
1. Run model with fixedbase
Results: Deformations
• Check Deformations
1. Results > Deformations > Displacements Contours
2. DXYZ under Self Weight Load
Results: Reactions
• Check Vertical Reactions
1. Results > Reactions > FZ
Update File for Soil Springs
1. Save As Soil Springs Constant File2. Delete Fixed Boundary
Apply Spring Supports
• Assign Constant Soil Springs to bottom nodes (footing)
1. Node/Element > Spring Supports
2. Fix all DOF’s except SDz3. Select base nodes4. Apply SDz 15000 kN/m Spring stiffness
Results: Settlement
• Run Analysis, Check Deformations
1. Results > Deformations > Displacements Contours
2. DXYZ under Self Weight Load
Export to GTS NX
1. Export Building in MXT File to GTS NX2. Export Reactions DZ Nodal Results to GTS NX for FIXED BC
New Option inGen 2017v3.1
Spring Stiffness Calculation
1. Import Structurefrom Gen for node location info
2. Import Ground CAD Geometry
New Option inGTS NX 2017
Soil Springs from GTS NX
1. 3D Finite Element soil layers2. Import Reactions from Gen file3. Delete Building model
New Option inGTS NX 2017
Extract Results, Export to Excel
1. Settlement Results can be probed into table
2. Copy results into Excel Sheet
New Option inGTS NX 2017
Update Springs in Gen
1. Get Spring Stiffness K from Geotechnical engineer.
2. K = Reactions RZ / settlement DZ3. Update springs in Gen model
Spring Stiffness table
Perform Analysis
1. Run model with updated soil springs
Fixed BC Soil Spring
