Idealised Pile Cap - Support conditions

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I have modelled in a simplified rectangular pile cap as shown, however I cannot seem to get the mesh to create nodes around the perimeter of the pile.

 

Also, i would also like to give the node support a horizontal restraint in the Y plane, but cannot see option? And for analysis, isoline map does not seem to be analysing, although slefweight loads are decomposing.

 

Many thanks

 My suggestions

delete meshing

draw circle (two arc ) with the same diameter of pile then run mesh again and delete circle  or try use Delaunay method and define a denser mesh
