Question

Rigid Connection of Embedded Piles

by

Hello,

I have a question about the connection of the piles to the foundation in a plaxis model I have. The connection is set to be rigid (see first screenshot) but when I look at the results the moment at the top of the pile is zero (see second screenshot) when I have a lateral load applied to the footings meaning that it is not a rigid connection. Do I need to create a rigid body or am I doing something wrong?
