Analyzing a mat foundation

Do either of the following:

Select Mat Foundation Job > Mat slab analysis/design options > Design.

Click the Design / Analysis tool in the Standard toolbar.

The Design Progress Report is displayed in the Output pane. The program will launch the analysis engine to perform the FEM analysis.

When the analysis is complete, a number of results tables are displayed in tabs in the Output pane. The main view window Geometry page will display the deformed shape of the mat.

Note: The Y Loading Position must correspond to the elevation of the foundation supports.
