    Yes, you can. It's in fact quite common to do so. With kind regards, Dennis Waterman
  • Dummy plate properties in PLAXIS 3D.

    Dear all, When modelling a pile with a section of 100cm by 320cm using a volume element in plaxis 3D, one is required to introduce a dummy plate such that the plate will not affect the results. My question is if my real E is 32 GPa and I know that the…
