Product Overview:
This video explores the interaction of a pile with soil under a vertical load in Abaqus. A 2D modeling approach was used for this simulation. The concrete pile is defined with elastic material properties, while the soil is characterized using Mohr-Coulomb plasticity and variable elasticity based on depth. Infinite elements were applied to represent areas far from the load zone by adjusting and modifying the input file. The analysis was carried out in four steps.

Key Topics:

• Step-by-step methods for constructing the pile and soil parts using axisymmetric modeling techniques.
• Discussing how to effectively manage mesh density and element types for optimal results.
• Creating interactions and boundary conditions to simulate the pile’s behavior under loading.
