Dear Wei Ern Hoon,

Thank you for clarifying that as this is an issue that was fixed with PLAXIS 2D 2019 version.

Dear Stefanos,

Thank you for your reply, I am currently using Plaxis 2018 - Basic VIP.

I tried the code that you suggested in Plaxis Output, but a similar error will still occur:

Any help would be welcome.

Dear Wei,

It is not clear from your message which version you are using. I am currently using our latest PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20.04 and the list you create works just fine, as you can see below:

Note that a material object is typically assigned to the property Material that belongs to the Soil object. Output though gets information from Input, so Soils starting from Structures (Soil_1, Soil_2, etc.) get intersected when after Mesh mode to multiple objects (Soil_1_1, Soil_2_1, Soil_2_2, etc.)

Therefore you need to extend your loops in the list comprehension even further to achieve what you want:
Soil_list = [soil.Material.MaterialName.value for soil_group in g_o.Soils for soil in soil_group]

Note that for more questions, you can also submit a service request. Then, one of our support engineers can help you in detail:
