Is it possible to model randomly oriented, short, discrete fiber reinforced clay soil using Plaxis 2D?

Question

Hello All 
 I am interested in developing a numerical model to show the behavior of a randomly oriented, discrete fiber-reinforced clay soil when subjected to loading. 
 
 I have used Plaxis 2D for modeling geotextile reinforced retaining walls. Would you mind giving me some recommendations of using this software to model discrete fibers within the soil 
 
 Thanks a lot in advance. 
 
 Kind regards 
 Akhila

Dear Akhila, 
 With the current implementation of the constitutive models, you will need to calculate equivalent parameters of the material data set that will take into account the improved soil behaviour due to the presence of the fibers. This data set can then be directly assigned to the soil polygons. 
 Note that it is possible to implement a user-defined soil model that can simulate the behaviour you intend to have. For more information, please check the link below: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45468/plaxis-user-defined-soil-models
