The foundation of buildings proceed from a detailed analysis of the interaction between the building and its environment in order to reduce the costs and ensure safety of the construction. A detailed and reliable analysis of the building‐foundation interaction requires suitable material definitions, an accurate description of the underground, and a model describing the geometry. Following this, a fluid‐saturated soil model, based on the the Theory of Porous Media, will be implemented into the finite‐element research‐code PANDAS, which will be connected to commercial FE package Abaqus. In this regard, one combines the powerful graphical user interface (GUI) for pre‐ and post‐processing and the algorithms of Abaqus with the convenient scripting environment for material definitions of PANDAS. Moreover, the linkage allows for a straight‐forward transfer of PANDAS material models into a well‐known and widely used commercial FE package. (© 2011 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
