Dear Sam, I agree with Martin, that in the finite element world there is no guessing. It is not possible for the program to not have any configuration when it comes to the model boundaries, e.g. fixities, groundwater, etc.. That is why when drawing…

Hi Sam, I presume you're trying to model only the external load caused by the river assuming that the soil remains dry, because I can't think of another reason to only model the part AB? If that is so, you may just want to model the external water load…

Sam, Setting up the water conditions in Finite Element Analysis is tricky. Plaxis likes to have the conditions set all the way from the left to the right boundary. If you draw it part way (like from A to B) you get the result that you show. What you…
