Plaxis LE 3D: Slope Stability solver not responding

Andra Ebener — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 08:01:58 GMT

In my Plaxis 3D LE slope model, I want to perform a porbabilistic analysis with Monte Carlo simulation. With some combinations of the probabilistic parameters (Number of Samples & Generator seed) the calculation window hangs with the message "Caching Geometry", but nothing happens and I get no response. Are there any relations here between Generator Seed and Sample Number that I should be aware of? Or does anyone have another idea what could be wrong with my calculation?

Is it possible to sum two values in the Command Line?

I would like to control my Plaxis model via external software. For that, I want to assign a new value for the cohesion cRef to a soil zone and this is composed of a calculated value plus the value of another soil material. Basically, I am looking for a way to make the following work:

_set Soil2.cRef (Soil1.cRef + 5)

The input is wrong of course, but maybe there is a syntax that makes this possible?

Factor of Safety from Command Line

Andra Ebener — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 08:14:01 GMT

To perform a relibility based analysis of a 3D slope model, I have created a 3D FE-Model in Plaxis 3D and in the next step I would like to couple this with an external software that changes the soil parameters and starts the safty analysis in Plaxis. I now want to have the external program read out the safety factor and for that, I need the corresponding command line in Plaxis Output. Can anyone tell me how I can query the SumMsf via the command line in the Output as I can do for example for the total displacement? I cannot find a ResultTypes for the Calcuation Information, but maybe there is anouther Output Object for that.
