Performing a Pile Cap Design

Now that the design parameters are entered, we are ready to perform the design.

Tip: Now is a good time to save your work, if you haven't already done so.

Select either:

Pile Cap Job > Design in the Main Navigator pane.

The Analyze / Design tool in the Standard toolbar.

The progress of the analysis process is displayed in the Status Bar along with the steps being performed by the program in the Design Progress Report of the Output pane.

Once the analysis process is complete, a results table appears in the Output pane showing the pile cap dimensions and the bar size and spacing in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

Note: The results are for only one of the six supports in the project because pile arrangements were selected for only support 1.

The Calculation Sheet opens in the Main View window for reviewing the detailed code checks.
