Python material setproperties

Hi all,

I am diving into the creation of PLAXIS 2D models using Python. I have some experience with the scripting engine and have read and studied the material provided by the commands reference.

I am stuck creating soil materials in my Python script. For clarity I follow the syntax provided by the example on page 533 of Plaxis 2D reference manual:

SAND_PARAMETERS = [
('MaterialName', 'Sand'),
('Colour', 10676870),
('SoilModel', 3), # Hardening soil
('DrainageType', 'Drained'),
('gammaUnsat', 17),
('gammaSat', 20),
('E50ref', 43000),
.....

This is a very robust definition, for all values have their parameter names defined as labels and PLAXIS 2D is processing this syntax correctly!

I am stuck for I haven't found the full definition of the labels anywhere, and I have spend time guessing some of the labels, but that has not been successful, so I hope someone will be able to help me and supply the labels for these values:

  • flow parameter kx
  • flow parameter ky
  • advanced stiffness E'inc
  • advanced stiffness yref

Using ('SoilModel', 2), # Mohr-Coulomb

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards, G.J. Kiers
