I couldn't help it but I really need to make fun of those UK small apartments This is in West London and such is our life in the UK!

Would you live here?

Hi all! My name is Maria, I am from Greece and live and work in the UK .

I studied Civil Engineering in Greece and then moved to the University of Cambridge where I studied Computer Science (Machine Learning, AI) for Civil Engineering projects. I love dancing (as you will see the "Dance Challenge" forum )

I am currently working for Bentley Systems. What about you? What are your interests? Where do you live? What are you studying?

Python Script: extrude multiple surfaces to volumes

Kunyu Yang — Thu, 05 May 2022 02:07:47 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to use Python script in Plaxis to automate my work and I am stuck with extruding multiple surfaces to volumes:

here is my code:

for i in range(1000):

g_i.extrude((g_i.Polygon_i), 0, 0, 1)

the error message:

AttributeError: Requested attribute 'Polygon_i' is not present

Please note I need to extrude thousands of surfaces and it will vary based on the different problems.

Thank you very much for your reply!

Is that corrected to set the LineDisplacement ux,start,ref= 0.5m at the bottom boundary in Plaxis 2D seismic analysis?

Vu Ngo — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 02:49:42 GMT

Hi all,

As explained in communities.bentley.com/.../how-to-prescribe-a-dynamic-displacement, the amplitude of the motion is double when body wave reaches a free surface due to impossibility of transmitting stresses and therefore ux,start,ref= 0.5m to account for that. However, it's still a question when the result shows peak acceleration is about half and one time of input signal at the bottom and the surface, respectively. In Plaxis version 2011 the displacement is only set as 0.01 to convert cm to m for input SMC file. Something is still not clear for me to understand the above explanation and to decide the input in our project case. Would anybody explain me more clearly?

Thank you!

What is the meaning of "Maccel" value in the calculation kernel?

Samet Ozenc — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 14:49:10 GMT

Hello everyone

I wonder about the meaning of the Maccel value. I checked the Plaxis 2D reference manual and it says "The value of this parameter is always 0."

Why it's always zero and what does it do?

Thank you
