Preparation
1) Under Training Project, create Spectral Fatigue subdirectory
2) Under Spectral Fatigue, Create Foundation SE, Modes and Fatigue
subdirectories.
3) Copy SACINP.STA model file, SEAINP.STA Seastate file and PSIINP.DAT soil data
from \Spectral Earthquake\Static SE directory to Foundation SE directory.
4) Copy SEAINP.DYN from \Spectral Earthquake\Modes directory to Modes directory
Creating foundation superelement under Foundation SE directory,
1) Modifying Model file SACINP.STA for creating foundation superelement suitable for
wave response analysis
Live weight factor in weight combination MASS shall be modified from 0.75 to 1.0.
2) Modifying Seastate file SEAINP.STA for create foundation superelement suitable for
wave response analysis
Delete load conditions GRVX and GRVY;
Add two new load conditions named as X000 and Y090, wave loads will be generated for
1.5 m wave height at 4.42 sec wave period for both 000 and 090 directions respectively.
Stream function will be used for calculating wave force in 18 steps; maximum base shear
will be selected for critical position. Weight selection lines INCWGT used to select
weight groups ANOD and WKWY for possible wave forces.
Delete load combination EQKS. Combine load combinations SUPX and SUPY with
X000 and Y090 correspondingly.
Modify LCSEL line to only include SUPX and SUPY load combinations.
Part of Seastate input file defined shall looks like following:

3) Delete Title line of PSIINP.DAT, otherwise it will has problem in following fatigue
analysis
4) Creating run file to generate foundation superelement using SUPX and SUPY.
Check Edit Environmental Loading Options to include the separate Seastate input;
In Edit Foundation Options > Foundation part, select Override - Create
Pilehead SE for Foundation Superelement Option and input SUPX and SUPY to
1st X and 1st Y load cases respectively, Max load and deflection will be used for pile
head load/deflection option.
No Element Check and Postvue database needed for this analysis.
Run analysis.
