A new option, “Displacement of the piles” has been implemented in the “Piles” dialogue box (see image). This option allows users to introduce a displacement value for each pile of the pile cap with respect to its original position. The displacement is introduced using the X and Y components of the local axes of the pile cap.
This option has been implemented so a change in the position of the piles during the execution phase of the job can be contemplated. If this occurs, the designer can introduce the displacement the piles have undergone with respect to those of the project, and by selecting the check option, can check whether or not the pile cap continues to meet its requirements.
Therefore, the effect of the displacements of the piles that are introduced using this option, are only used to check the pile cap. The design and drawings that are generated are all carried out bearing in mind the original position of the piles.
