Set global waterlevel with Python

Dina Hansen — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 13:21:51 GMT

Hi,

I have created a water level in "flow conditions" with the following Python command:

g_i.gotoflow()
g_i.waterlevel((-1,-6),(9,-6),(9,0),(19,0))

This worked out fine. Now I can't find the right command to make this waterlevel global. I did this in GUI in Plaxis and this command appeared in the command line:

_setglobalwaterlevel UserWaterLevel_1 InitialPhase

I have tried many different Python commands, but can't find the the command with the right syntax in Python. Can you please help me solving this?

Do you have any advice in general when solving this kind of problem?

When writing Python commands to Plaxis I usually use the command line (+echo and info), the scripting examples on Plaxis Soilvision and this forum to write commands in Python. Can you recommend any other tool when writing Python commands in Plaxis?

best regards,

Dina Hansen

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _Blowfish: The specified module could not be found

Dina Hansen — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 19:38:27 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to make a connection between Python (I use Spyder as IDE) and Plaxis.

I have tried to run the following code:

import sys
sys.path.append(r"C:\Program Files\Plaxis\PLAXIS 2D\python\Lib\site-packages")
from plxscripting.easy import*

to import the plxscripting library, but I get the following error:

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _Blowfish: The specified module could not be found

I have found modules named _Blowfish.pyd and Blowfish.py in the folder named Cipher. I tried to import other modules in plxscripting, and that worked out fine. For example:

import sys
sys.path.append(r"C:\Program Files\Plaxis\PLAXIS 2D\python\Lib\site-packages")
from plxscripting.server import*

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

best regards,

Scripting reference

Dina Hansen — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:31:23 GMT

Hi,

I have a question regarding the scripting reference in PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20:

https://www.plaxis.com/support/python-scripts/scripting-reference-and-how-to-use-it/

Is this scripting reference available as a PDF somewhere? I have PLAXIS 2018, and I do not have access to the scripting reference in PLAXIS.

Best regards,

Remote scripting - an interface, add or functionality?

Dina Hansen — Fri, 01 May 2020 09:02:39 GMT

Hi,

I am a student at NTNU and I am currently working on a preparation project for my master's thesis about Plaxis remote scripting and Python, and I have a couple of questions regarding remote scripting.

I am not sure how i should refer to "remote scripting". Is remote scripting an interface, a functionality or an add-in? For example: "Plaxis remote scripting is an add-in/a functionality/an interface/a technology that enables ...". What is correct?
I also have a question about the API and Plaxis remote scripting. Does the API enable remote scripting, or is remote scripting one kind of API? I have pasted some information I found about this on Bentley Systems' web pages, but I still don't get how remote scripting and the REST HTTP API is "connected". I do not have a lot of knowledge about programming and I am having a hard time understanding this.

The PLAXIS software provides an HTTP based API (REST HTTP API), for which a special Python wrapper was developed for an easy to use scripting API. Both PLAXIS Input and PLAXIS Output support this usage of a Remote Scripting server.

Best regards,

Dina Hansen
