run the same 6 problems in SI units, using the names MET1 thru MET6. The
SI files are in simPILCP.TXT.

above is file ENG2 for run using pile-soil input
LINE 5 ABOVE COULD HAVE BEEN 2 LINES, JUST AS LINES 6 THRU 13 IN
FILE "ENG:1" COULD BE ON ONE LINE; LINES 12 & 13 COULD HAVE BEEN ON
ONE LINE
Line 4 : PILE-SOIL PROPERTIES
Line 5 : STRING, TYPE OF ANALYSIS (see ICP above)
Line 6 : C = ALL PILES THE SAME ; V = NOT ALL THE SAME
Lines 7 & 9 : STRINGS
Line 10 : numerical value of PILE/SOIL STIFFNESS CONSTANT
Line 11 : STRING
Line 12 : numerical values of AXIAL STIFF. and TORSIONAL STIFF.
(because piles can be end-bearing, friction or a combination
of both, pile areas, lengths & torsional stiff. can NOT
define pile properties; they must be determined in same way
as in the method using a pure stiffness matrix)
Line 13 : numerical values of STRONG AXIS & WEAK AXIS moments of inertia
Lines 14 thru 22 SAME AS "ENG1" ABOVE
special note: lines 7 & 8 are NOT used in ENG4 (ICP=3) because the
so-called "Vetter" method does not allow bending; only the axial and
torsional stiffness are input (the use of the latter is questionable).
If the loads do not go through the "elastic center", deflections are
"enormous" and the analysis breaks down.
Lines 7 & 8 are not used in ENG1 because the stiffness matrix
incorporates their use.Therefore, they are used only in Hrennikoff
(ICP=1 and ICP=2) and free standing piles (ICP=4 and ICP=5).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ENG6 shows the use of "V" in pile properties (even though here they
are all the same).
