    Practical Use of MIDAS GTS NX for Pile Raft Foundations
    📆 18th April 2026 (Saturday) | 🕓 08:30 AM - 05:30 PM
    📍 To be announced soon
       
    📝Overview
    This 1-day instructor-led course considers the implementation of MIDAS GTS NX in the field of pile raft foundations.
     
    The course content includes:
    ✅Mastering the fundamental modelling features related to piles  
    ✅Optimally choosing the Finite Element (FE) model input parameters (constitutive soil behaviour, volume piles vs piles as beam element)  
    ✅Methodology and presentation of the different design steps in relation to FE Analysis  
    ✅Soil-Structure-Interaction principles for the design of piled foundations (pile group, piled rafts)
