Hi,
I am running a sensitivity analysis for an excavation after demolition of an existing structure. The analysis includes a number of pile elements and plate elements. The pile locations are updated by sometimes a 0.5m or so. Now, with Plaxis Input, I have to manually select each embedded beam row element and update the coordinates. This is quite cumbersome and takes quite some time. I have saved the pile coordinates in an excel workbook. Is there any way I can use Plaxis scripting to update the coordinates via excel? I have attached a sample input file for reference.

Dear Laswin,
This is where Python scripting can become a powerful tool. With Python scripting you can connect with PLAXIS application and perform almost any task that can be done manually via a Python script.
If you need to start from somewhere I would say:
Note that Python has modules that allow accessing and handling Excel data, too. There are plenty of examples that can be found online.
