The Settlement Analysis of Raft Foundation Using RFDG Program Based on ANSYS

The development of raft foundation design guide (RFDG) used in the high-rise building was programmed based on the secondary development language of ANSYS, such as TCL/TK, APDL and UDIL. The RFDG program provides a friendly GUI, which can be used expediently for the numerical experiment. The settlement analysis of raft foundation in the case study was carried out by RFDG. At the same time, the main technique for the secondary development of ANSYS has also been discussed in this paper.
