Event | Pile Foundation Behavior in Demolition & Practical Raft Design

✏️Session Overview

What if you could model, analyze, and design pile and raft foundations within a single FEM environment, while clearly understanding how foundations behave during demolition and redevelopment stages?

In this technical webinar, you’ll learn how to achieve exactly that through practical, connected workflows in GEN NX, grounded in advanced finite element modeling and real engineering scenarios.

Enhance both accuracy and efficiency in foundation engineering by mastering key concepts and modelling techniques:

🔹 Pile Foundation Modelling -
Learn how to model pile foundations effectively, including pile representation, stiffness assumptions, and pile–soil interaction considerations.

🔹 Foundation Behavior after Demolition -
Understand how pile foundations respond when existing superstructures are demolished, including load redistribution, boundary condition changes, and result interpretation.

🔹 Raft Foundation Modelling -
Explore practical approaches to modelling raft foundations, with attention to mesh strategies, support conditions, and interaction with the supporting ground.

🔹 Raft Foundation Design Workflow -
See How analysis results are translated into design checks within GEN NX, enabling a smooth transtition from modelling to practical foundation design.

Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your engineering skills and gain practical know-how you can apply immediately.
