Hello,
I have been working on a pile supported mat foundation project (checking an existing pile cap to find out if the existing reinforcement is overstressed or not). A coworker of mine recently reviewed the model and found quite different results than I did after running the analysis. I have included a total of eight screenshots to help illustrate the issues we are having. Screenshots 1 through 4 were taken from the model that I was working on. Screenshots 5 through 8 were taken from the reviewer’s computer. After running the analysis on my computer, I was not showing any failures. When the reviewer ran the analysis on his computer, he is showing multiple failures. Everything was the same as I simply sent him a copy of the .sfa file when I was finished. One thing we noticed was that we are running different versions of the software. I am running version 07.02.00.00 and my coworker is running version 07.00.00.52. We also noticed the pile spring values are showing up differently (it appears that his version reverted the values back to their default settings). Is there some sort of incompatibility between the versions that is causing these discrepancies?
