p-y curves in plaxis?

Question

Dear All, 
 Is it possible to compare the p-y curves in the literature with the analysis from PLAXIS 3D? If yes, how does one go about this problem? is there an example? 
 Thank you.

Dear Jamal, 
 From your description it is not really clear to me but I guess you would like to compare the results of a laterally-loaded pile from a method using p-y curves and the results in PLAXIS 3D. 
 If so, yes, you can do that. 
 For example, our PLAXIS Monopile Designer can import p-y curves based on API guideline and calculate the pile in a 1D model, which then you can compare with the PLAXIS 3D results. 
 Note that PLAXIS 3D does not use p-y curves for the calculation.
