PICASO soil spring calibration platform

PICASO: calibrated soil springs in minutes

Don't waste days tweaking parameters. Let PICASO fit your 3D model to PISA curves automatically.

The Challenge

Calibrating PISA soil springs for offshore wind design is complex, repetitive, and often inconsistent. Manual matching between 3D FE and 1D models takes hours — if not days.

PICASO automates this process using a machine learning engine, saving you time while improving accuracy and confidence in your soil-structure interaction model.

Use Case Example

Challenge:

A design team is required by the certification body to use PISA-calibrated springs, but they don't have a tool or the time to build one.

Solution:

With PICASO, the team uploads their FE data, sets their model geometry, and within minutes receives calibrated soil springs for each layer — saving days of work and ensuring compliance.
