Hello friends,
Could you please tell me what type of analytical model has been used to solve for foundation response in PSI module? It has been mentioned in the manual that "The program uses a finite difference solution to solve the pile model which is represented by a beam column on a nonlinear elastic foundation". Please let me know the name of the analytical model used along with the relevant equations. Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,

Ishwarya,
The number of pile increments is set on the PSIOPT line in columns 62-64. The default value is 100. This information is available on the PSIOPT line information in the PSI manual.
