Pygmy was developed by Dr. Doug Stewart,
from the University of Western Australia.

It analyzes the behavior of single piles under
lateral loading. It uses the subgrade reaction
(p-y) method and allows general forms of
loading to be applied. Some of the program
main features are:

finite-element-based analysis of pile
bending, including the effect of axial
load
soil resistance represented by non-
linear p-y springs, defined for all
ranges of soils, from soft clays to
calcareous soils to weak rocks
automatic generation of p-y curves for
both static and cyclic criteria
easy input of p multipliers to account
for group effects
multiple soil layers
any combination of applied moments,
lateral forces, rotations, lateral
displacements or lateral soil
displacements applicable to any node
possibility of adjusting fixity of any
node on the pile
distributions of pile deflection,
rotation, bending moment, shear
force and spring force viewable on the
screen or printed output
