https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/forum/212102/plaxis-stress-fileI want to simulate a axially loaded pile (2d or 3d does not matter). Initially I want to apply only gravity. 1. I want extract a stress file (stress for every gauss point in every element). Is it possible? How do I extract it? 2. Modify the stresses externallyen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/643312?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 07 Apr 2021 16:13:09 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:bace55fa-8be3-48d4-ad67-8ef479e7dbaeMicha van der Sloot<p>Hi Borana<br /><br />1) you can get a table of all stress point data via the Output User interface: just select the desired stress output in the model view and then open the table. Alternatively, you can use the PLAXIS API to extract that data.</p> <p>2) externally modify stresses and put it in PLAXIS again is not possible. Note that if it was possible that when changing stresses would introduce an out-of-balance that needs to be solved first before you can continue.&nbsp;</p> <p>If there is a physical process you can follow to update the stresses, I suggest doing that to get the desired stress state.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
