[CIVIL NX] Soil Pressure Check

Question

Why am I not getting any values for soil pressure in the model?

Answer

Soil pressure contour can be displayed on the beam, plate, and solid elements which are assigned point spring support or distributed spring support using the surface spring support function.

NOTE : point spring support entered using the model>boundaries>point spring support function is not considered the calculation of soil pressure.

Soil pressure is calculated as the nodal reaction divided by the effective area surrounding the relevant node. the effective area is bounded by the center line of the plate/solid element.

Kindly define the surface spring instead of the point spring for soil pressure calculation.

We are now able to get values for the soil pressure check.
