Dear Samet,

This multiplier is no longer used in the latest versions of PLAXIS. It used to be the case in the very old times (legacy versions) when pseudo-static accelerations were applied.

In our newer versions, this is handled directly via the multiplier ΣΜstage.

If you are interested about pseudo-static here is a good read: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/48472/fundamentals-of-pseudo-static-analysis-in-plaxis
