Question: modelling of pile foundations

I am writing to request some general opinion/support. I’m new to Maple and I’m interested in analysing a pile foundation (long steel pipe driven into the ground). The pile is normally modelled as a series of masses interconnected by straight elements and the soil surrounding the pile is modelled as a series of non-linear springs acting on each of the masses.

I would like to know if this is something that can be done in Maple or if MapleSim is needed.

Thanks!
