Hi guys... Im facing this error while meshing my model on PLAXIS 3D?? Could anyone help me??

Thanks in advance

Hi Dear all... I want to test what happens with the pile capacity of a bored cased pile when the variation of the case tickness. My doubt is how to model it? can anyone plese help me wuth this issue???

Interface_Material Mode and Virtual Thickness

Hi all,

Material mode

Can anyone please tell about what is the meaning of this with example?

Virtual thickness

I have modeled this system (as shown below) to test the virtual thickness effect of the interface. I changed both interface virtual thickness values at the same time for 1 and 0.1 and the result outcome is shown below in the table.

Parameters	@ Virtual thickness = 1.0	@ Virtual thickness = 0.1
Effective normal stress (kN/m2) @ negative interface side	18.72	16.40
Total normal stress (kN/m2) @ negative interface side	64.50	66.30
Shear stress (kN/m2) @ negative interface side	5.679	6.343
Total Displacement @ negative interface (mm)	17.39	14.66

What is the reason for the change in the stress in the interface due to virtual thickness changes?

Thanks.
