In Plaxis 3D v21, when I select pile from the Forces dropdown menu, three types of moments will appear (M1, M2 and M3) . In this M3 has higher values than others. What does it means of these (M1, M2 and M3)??
Dear Mahabub,
You can find information about the resulting forces in beams in our Reference manual, specifically in chapter 9.4.7, page 453 (V22.02).
Just to give you a quick answer, the bending moments are determined based on the local axes of the beam. Below you can see the M2 and M3. Note that M1 is considered to be the torsion (bending around the first axis).
