Look, when one model a single pile for horizontal fixity/capacity, it is simple: divide the pile into no of small length, then multiply the perimeter area with subgrade reaction and put the multiplied result as spring at corresponding node. But when you model pile below foundation of a building or bridge, you should model the pile point at foundation as a vertical spring and horizontal spring at the same time. how it can be calculated?
