Request: NorSand DLL

Question

Dear community, 
 im working in the simulation of tailing material for my PhD and i would like to have the DLL file of NorSand constitutive model. Can somebody help me with that? Because at the Institut were i work we have Plaxis V19, so i should find the file by other means. 
 Thank you in advanced

Dear Ana, 
 The NorSand model was released with PLAXIS 2D/3D CONNECT Edition V21. Therefore, you will need to have a PLAXIS 2D/3D CONNECT Edition V21 or V22 (new release) to be able to run an analysis with the NorSand model.

Dear Ana, 
 Unfortunately, between 2D 2019 and 2D CONNECT Edition V20 (and later), there is a new licensing system introduced via Bentley's CONNECTION Client which makes it impossible for the same DLL to be used in an older version like the 2D 2019. 
 Note that all the testing and validation has also been done with PLAXIS 2D/3D CONNECT Edition V21, which can guarantee that the model is stable (as a UDSM) to run in those versions onward.
