PLAXIS | SOILVISION Blog

[Now available on-demand] In this month's Coffee Corner, we will show the benefits of the PLAXIS Monopile Designer, and how you can optimize using automation.

In the June 14 Geotechnical Coffee Corner, we will showcase tools to make the geometry creation in your model a lot easier. With tips and tricks, and a live Q&A!

Standard Course on Computational Geotechnics, 5-8 September 2022 at Schiphol, The Netherlands

New PLAXIS release: CONNECT Edition V22.01 [May 2022]. Added 3D Discontinuities, 2D soil layer import, and improved material support. Read for more details!

In this month’s Coffee Corner, we will explore the recently released OC-Clay model and we will cover: • Brief description of the OC Clay model and its main parameters • Influence of material choice for embankment construction on overconsolidated clay

Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics, 20-22 June 2022 at Schiphol, The Netherlands

In April's webinar, we wil have a look at the workflow for creating NATM or conventional tunnels. Sign up to join the live sessions.

In this month's Coffee Corner: learn about PLAXIS automation: small tasks, parametric model creation. Join us in live sessions with Q&A on March 8.

In this answer, the focus is on features of structural elements in PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D and how these elements can be employed to simulate excavation problems

The February Geotech Coffee Corner will show a new element for fractures, joints, faults in Rock Masses: the Discontinuity element. Sign up to learn more.

New PLAXIS release: CONNECT Edition V22. Many new features as rock models and discontinuities, surface import and much-improved materials storage.

We will discuss rock engineering applications, their challenges, and the resources that rock engineers can use to solve these problems by using PLAXIS software.

This month's Geotechnical Analysis Coffee Corner will show you the ins and outs when dealing with geosynthetics in PLAXIS modeling. So sign up and join us live on December 14!

The November Geotechnical Analysis Coffee Corner will dive into dealing with uncertainty in your soil parameters and how PLAXIS can help you in dealing with that. So join us.

Join us for a complimentary PLAXIS course on Engineering Rock mechanics. After the successful live course, it is now offered as an On-Demand Learning Path going into the details of rock modeling, constitutive rock models (e.g. Hoek-Brown and Jointed Rock), underground works and rock slopes. Sign up here.

PLAXIS Monopile Designer…

Please join us in the first PLAXIS Answer Hour: a live Q&A session to help you with your questions. Topic: groundwater. You are invited to bring your questions!

Only very few projects can really be considered 2D and most projects have 3D effects. Modeling projects in 2D would mean that you must make assumptions, which may lead to conservative designs or forget to take 3D effects. Watch this Coffee Corner live on July 13 to learn about 3D effects, 2D to 3D and 3D drainage.

New PLAXIS CE V21.01 releases: 2D, 3D, Monopile Designer, and Output Viewer releases! PLAXIS now comes with Limit Equilibrium solutions! And more new features included…

March 2021, PLAXIS showcased two new constitutive soil models that target liquefaction type of problems. the PM4Silt model, and the NorSand model discussed by Mike Jeffries. Both are available on-demand.
