OPILE is a program designed to analyse the capacity and response of single piles subjected to any combination of loads (axial, lateral and torsional), displacements and rotations. OPILE allows to calculate pile capacity (ultimate and mobilisable), response curves (T-Z, Q-Z and P-Y), Soil Resistance to Driving, the axial and lateral load displacement response and to perform back analysis of SRD based on pile driving records all in a single software package! As it is designed for steel tubular piles and incorporates methods typically used for this pile type, it particularly suits the requirements of the offshore geotechnical engineering community, but also provides a valuable analysis capability for all kinds of piles.
OPILE operates in SI units and was developed to remain design code independent. OPILE supports batch running and reporting and saves its data as ASCII files allowing scripting to be used to generate large sets of input data and/or automatic processing of the output. Alternatively, OPILE allows any of the output tables visible in the user interface to be exported to a fully customisable WORD or EXCEL template through the use of named ranges in Excel. Integration of data with structural design packages is available through the SACS export. Other export formats can be added upon request.
