Create an Interactions properties. Select Contact Type. In tangential Behavior set Friction coeff 0.3 and in Normal
Behavior the Pressure Overclosure option set “Hard” Contact
In Interactions option select Find Contact Pairs to auto-detect the contact pair surfaces in the parts.
Click on Find Contact Pairs. Select a candidate and whit the Highlight in the viewport option selected to see it
in the viewport . Change the Bottom Interaction Type to Tie.
Double click on Adjust box, click on Adjust Only to remove overclosure, do it for the others Contact Pairs.
Press OK to generate the interactions.
Create a new constraint. Change the Type to MPC Constraint.
Create a new Set, Select in the Viewport the MPC Control Point

MODULE: STEP
In Initial Step Create a predefined field. select Step Initial and in Mechanical Category select Geostatic Stress.
Select Set…, in the Eligible Sets choose one.
Introduce the stress magnitude in the coordinate 0 is 0 and 10 is -200. Use the same coordinates and stress
magnitude for the pile. The lateral coefficients are 0.5 in soil and 1 in pile.
In the Geostatic Step Create a Load. in the Category Mechanical select the Gravity.
Set 0 in Components 1 and 2 and 10 in Component 3, the distribution is Uniform.
In Load step Create a new Boundary Condition (BCs). select in Mechanical category Displacement/Rotation
option.
Select the MPC Control Point.
Set 1 m Displacement in U3 direction with Uniform distribution and (Ramp) Amplitude.
