Pile cap foundations supporting any configuration of vertical or battered concrete/steel piles.
However, its current status as abandoned, unsupported, and non-compliant with modern codes makes it a high-risk choice for contemporary professional practice. While its full version is still obtainable through unofficial channels, the potential for critical bugs and legal liability outweighs any short-term benefits. For today's engineers, migrating to actively developed, supported foundation design software that offers similar integrated workflows with full technical support is the more prudent and professional path. The legacy of AFES, particularly as an early, powerful integrated system, remains a fascinating case study in engineering software development and the risks of technological abandonment. afes+30foundation+design+software+full
