The Foundations module allows the geotechnical design which, depending on a country, is based on the requirements of the geotechnical codes, technical guidelines or, directly, on principles of soil mechanics. For this reason, the rules of the geotechnical design may be divided into the following groups of regional (national) requirements:
- ACI
- BS 8004
- CSA
- DTU 13.12
- EN 1997-1:2004/A1:2013
- Fascicule No 62 - Titre V
- French: NF P 94-261 (NF-EN 1997-1:2008/A1 Avril 2014)
- PN-81/B-03020
- Polish: PN-EN 1997-1:2008/A1:2014-05
- SNiP 2.02.01-83.
Irrespective of the parameters of the geotechnical design, the Foundations module allows for selection of a design code of provided (real) reinforcement of a footing. There are the following codes for calculation of the provided (real) reinforcement of a footing available:
- American codes: ACI 318-08, ACI 318-08 (metric), ACI 318-08 Thailand, ACI 318-11, ACI 318-11 (metric), ACI 318-11 Thailand, ACI 318-14, and ACI 318M-14 (metric)
- Belgian code: NBN EN 1992-1-1/A1:2014 ANB:2010
- British codes: BS 8110 and BS EN 1992-1-1:2004 NA:2005
- Canadian codes: CSA A23.3-04 and CSA A23.3-94

- Russian codes: SNiP 2.03.01-84
- Romanian codes: STAS 10107/0-90 and SR EN 1992-1-1:2004/A1:2014 NB 2008/A91:2009
- Singaporean code: NA to SS EN 1992-1-1:2008/A1:2014
