    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)
