Program description: Program allows you to analyze raft foundations of an arbitrary shape
rested on elastic subsoil using the Finite Element Method.

- Inteligent data input
- User friendly textual and graphical outputs
- Built-in context-sensitive help
- Compatibility with EC7
- Built-in database of soil characteristics
- Point and line supports (standard and spring type of supports)
- Winkler – Pasternak subsoil (parameters of subsoil C1, C2)
- DXF import and export of topology
- Possibility to compute constants C1 and C2 exploiting deformation characteristics of soils
- An arbitrary number of load cases and combinations
- Concentrated and surface loading of an arbitrary shape applied at any location within a
plate
- Thermal loading and loading due to forced displacements
- Automatic mesh generator producing triangular, quadrilateral and hybrid meshes with the
possibility of mesh refinement
