I am trying to model a laterally loaded pile. In the Plaxis Tutorial manual there is an example of loading of a suction pile in which the pile is modelled as a rigid body but no material or thickness of pile is assigned to it. Is it not necessary to assign material?. And also how to choose the reference points for the rigid body?. All answers are welcome.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Ask A Question Ihttps://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09Mon, 17 May 2021 01:04:40 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:22da8cd5-2426-4359-9f52-b6dab8321e61Ask a question in a forum.
