The message is a warning. It means that there is uplift in one of the footings after the application of the initial (gravity) loading, which is not reasonable. If this is something that you expected, ignore the message

Re: How to simulate the soil-structure interaction
I am having convergence issue stating that "Norm of out-of-balance Deformations" at nodal points. What is the possible solution to this? Any answer is highly appreciated.

Re: How to simulate the soil-structure interaction
The message means that the program cannot achieve convergence, due to instabilities in the model.

Hi!I try to use ssilink1-macroelement for shallow footing.I downloaded the sample example 51 from seismosoft site .But it doesnt seem to work.Where is the output of the program?
Re: How to simulate the soil-structure interaction
Dear akis95,
Could you please explain how the 51_Example_Footing_BaseInput.spf project "it doesn't seem to work"?
Do you use the current version of SeismoStruct v2022-Release 3-Build 25?

Re: How to simulate the soil-structure interaction
Hello, Is it possible to model a soil strata (30 m depth) consisting of 6 different soil layers (5 m depth of each) with different properties in SeismoStruct for pile foundation? Is it possible to model layered soil (non uniform) having different properties with varying depth? Kindly help.

Re: How to simulate the soil-structure interaction
Unfortunately not. SeismoStruct is a program for the analysis of framed structures. What you describe is beyond the capabilities (and the scope) of the program.
