Hi all,
I am working on an iterative procedure where phases are calculated with and without Design Approaches. The soil model I am using is HSSS and the soil parameters are identified by another algorithm. The reason why I am asking here is that when I am using Design Approaches, some parameters change (Phi for example), and the relation between E50, Eoed and Eur is no longer fulfilled.
When defining (manually) a wrong parameter combination, Plaxis gives you an “error alert” with a recommendation about what to change in order to be able to correctly define the soil material. Is there a way to catch that same recommendation when creating the soil material using python?
Reading the “Command Reference” I found that the command g_i.checkcalculationconditions() can find when a soil material is wrongly defined, but it says nothing about what to change.
The only solution I can think off is to check if the relations between the different parameters is fulfilled for both, with a without Design Approach, before creating the soil material. But I would like to know if there is a way to catch that Plaxis recommendation and use regular expressions to find out what should be modified.
Thank you and Regards,
Thank you very much! This is the Request number: 7001152226. Regards,José Ignacio Schafer
Dear Jose,
Nice to hear that you have automated processes using our PLAXIS API. In general, when changing the parameters in a soil material there is an iterative procedure to make sure that the constitutive model is correctly set.
However, with design approaches this should not be the case as the correlated parameters do not get updated. I would like to investigate this and see if I can find a way to assist you with your script.
Can you please submit a service request for me?
