Advantages of above integration are as follows:
 
 - Automatically generate a complete 3D foundation model in PDMS or Frameworks plus after a foundation design is completed    in the Foundation3D for soil and pile supported foundations saves significant design and modeling time. 
       
 - Extracts meaningful information from COADE PV Elite such as geometry, operating, test weights and other information    required to complete foundation design for equipments supports in Foundation3D.
       
- Extracts meaningful information from GT Strudl designed superstructure such as support geometry, and reactions and   completes the foundation design of the superstructure in the foundation design.

 Why to use FE107 instead of WRC 107 or WRC 297

FE107 uses finite element technology to provide stress analysis of nozzle connections on pressure vessel and piping (PVP). FE107 replaces WRC 107 as a calculation tool that can be applied when WRC 107 correlational methods are limited. The following list summarizes areas where WRC 107 and WRC 297 are considered weak, or where there is cause for concern.
 -   d/D > 0.5
 -   t/T > 1.0
 -   Pad reinforced nozzles
 -   Hillsides or laterals
 -   Area replacement rules for pressure are barely satisfied and large diameter
     divided by thickness ration (D/T)
 -   Temperatures are approaching the creep regime
 -   Cycles are greater than 5000
 -   Design and operating conditions are approximately the same
 -   The load consists of high-pressure stresses and high loads
 -   The Piping attached to the nozzle is long, flexible, and unrestrained
