Python get_results fails, but gives settlements

Thijmen Plomp — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 14:21:12 GMT

Hi,

When using a Python script to get results from a calculation, I use the function:

u1, uy_c = get_result(g_i.Phase_1) for a specific phase. For example within get_result() the method to obtain uy_c = float(g_o.getsingleresult(phase_o,g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.Uy,0,0)) . This works fine

I do this for multiple phases. However, the problem I run into is that sometimes this function/callable gives an answer, but if I open the model in Plaxis it says:

'Soil body seems to collapse. Please inspect Output results. Accuracy condition not reached in last step. [Error code: 111]'

Therefore, it will not calculate the next phase, which is correct in my opinion. But for uy_c I do obtain a value, but I want some error code or value which informs me about the Soil body collapse.

How can I obtain or call the value for the 'Soil body seems to collapse. Please inspect Output results. Accuracy condition not reached in last step. [Error code: 111]''? Which this value I can tell the script which creates output that the specific phase has failed.

Thank you in advance.

Python environment in plaxis

Hi,

Since we are trying to automise more and more with Plaxis, we try to implement/use our own input-excel sheets to set up a model within Plaxis. We try to use python scripting for this.

I found out that the python environment with the packages within plaxis is managed by Anaconda. However, we are not able to modify the root environment of Plaxis, which I can understand. I am able to make a copy of this environment and add some extra packages to this environment which are pretty usefull to use within Python, such as Pandas or xlsxwriter.

However, I cannot change the python intrepreter from the root environment to this new environment? How can I do so? Or is there another way to install and use extra python packages within Plaxis?

Thanks for your help in advance.
