Python - ResultType and PlotType

Eric Woon — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 09:29:07 GMT

Hi,

I am able to export the Output plot using Python code, per the guidance provided in this article.

https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45549/export-and-format-plots-from-plaxis-output

I tried out to output the plot of the Deformed mesh.

With the echo function, I obtained the following:

Plot named "Plot_1"
ResultType: |u|
PlotType: None (0)

For PlotType, I tried inputting "None (0)"/"None"/"0" into:

for phase in g_o.Phases:
g_o.Plots[-1].Phase = phase
g_o.Plots[-1].ResultType = g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.Utot
g_o.Plots[-1].PlotType = 'None'

but the following error is shown below.

Invalid value: "None (0)". Allowed values are: nodearrows, contourlines, shadings, nodelabels or ordinal value.

Anyone knows how do I specify "None (0)" into PlotType as shown in the echo function?

PLAXIS 3D Plate stresses

Eric Woon — Sun, 28 Aug 2022 22:12:50 GMT

PLAXIS 3D presented the following forces computed in a plate element

Anyone knows how do I extract the computed stresses (i.e., Von Mises stress or equivalent)?

p-y curves as interface in plaxis 3D?

Jamal Hassan — Thu, 07 Apr 2022 16:15:50 GMT

Dear All,

Can we input p-y curves as interfaces for pile in Plaxis 3D?

During time history analysis, instead of the R_intervalue, is there a way we can input p-y curves in the interfaces?

How does one overcome this?

Python - Speed up the export of multiple plots

Eric Woon — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 22:29:35 GMT

Hi,

I output the desired plots for all phases in Python, per guidance as summarized so succinctly in the article.

https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45549/export-and-format-plots-from-plaxis-output

However, the export of plots is pretty slow and I remember I read it somewhere I can set the 'controller' in such a way PLAXIS output won't refresh/regenerate the visualisation for each phase but directly export to the required image file, which will speed up the export process?

Does anyone remember how to do this?

Cheers
