Most literature I have seen assume the pile as a beam element and as such only apply a horizontal single spring(p-y) to a level. I however assume that in 3-D this should be applied to every node on the circumference of a chosen ground level along with the vertical springs representing t-z (I&#8217;d like your opinion please). 2. How do I input the p-y, t-z and q-z values in workbench? Any useful materials or even screenshots would help greatly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry these seem like a lot of questions but I&#8217;m afraid they have been bothering me for sometime now and I&#8217;m glad to find that this community can help.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Aliyu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-34319","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["6491"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["2457"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["34319"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["897","163935","168233","185844"],"_bbp_voice_count":["4"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["141421"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["141421"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-02-05 23:55:07"]},"test":"aliyu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/34319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/34319\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
