Hi,
I am trying to find load on each pile in a pile group by modeling pile cap with plate elements(did not do meshing) and a pier on it with beam member. Provided support type hinge at each pile location. Applied vertical, horizontal loads and a bending moment on top of pier(ie, at start node). This results are not matching with manual load on pile calculations.
Could you please tell me how do we get correct support reactions(load on each pile)?
Thank you.
