Dear all
the soil will be cut into many small pieces when the pile is embedded in the soil layer, and some small pieces will overlap.
soil_x is preferred in plaxis，but I find that the soil_x_x is used as the benchmark in the activation process of python soil blocks. I want to just press soil_x, so how do I do that?
thank you
Dear Xiong,
I am not sure I fully understand the question.
Objects get intersected in PLAXIS automatically when you switch from Blue (Soil, Structures) to Green modes (Mesh, Flow conditions, Staged construction). Naturally, if a soil object is a single rectangle in Structures but gets intersected by a line, it will be split into multiple parts in Staged construction.
PLAXIS offers the possibility via the GUI to activate Soil_X directly via the Model explorer but in reality, Soil_X_1, Soil_X_2, etc. are to be activated as Soil_X no longer exists (serves only as a reference).
Therefore with Python, you can only access the Soil_X_Y items in a for-loop as these are the actual objects that exist in Staged construction.
However, this is still possible in Staged Construction:
g_i.Soil_2.deactivate(g_i.Phases[0])
