We are pleased to inform you that PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D CONNECT Edition Version 22 (CE V22) have been approved in Hong Kong on 28 September 2022 (G201) and 27 December 2022 (G203) respectively.
You can now use PLAXIS 2D and 3D CE V22 for submission in Hong Kong. These versions carry another major update. You can find the release notes here:
Enhancements to functionality make PLAXIS easier to use for rock and mining engineers and offer workflow improvements for Leapfrog Geo & Works integration. PLAXIS continues to provide intuitive and easy-to-use functionality for rock and mining engineers after successfully introducing the discontinuity element in previous releases. Cable bolts and its newly available material type have been added: a cable bolt can be used to simulate grouted cables or frictional/grouted bolts.
Further details based on the Pre-accepted Geotechnical Program approval scheme can be found on the webpage of the Buildings Department under the Pre-Accepted Computer Program.
You can now update your PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D versions to CONNECT Edition Version 22 when working in Hong Kong. Take advantage of all the improvements, smoother workflow and a highly flexible license solution via Bentley’s Subscription Entitlement Service.
