Hello,

I am trying to use structural elements within FLAC to model the displacement of a pile. I am confused regarding the selection of coupling-stiff-shear and coupling-stiff normal parameters?

Are these parameters which can be looked up in a reference?

I am totally lost on how to determine these.

Thank you for any help!
