I would like to set the volume strain for a polygon. Right now it seems that i can only set the volume strain for the parts that make of the entire polygon. Is there any way to set the volume strain for the whole polygon? Example:i created a polygon: user_polygon
Plaxis creates the following subdivision: user_polygon_1, user_polygon_2
I want to set the volume strain for the entrire user_polygon, right now i can only activate volume strain for user_polygon_1 and 2.
Dear Niels,
Geometry is created in the blue modes (Soil and Structures). When switching to green modes (Mesh, Flow conditions, Staged construction) intersection takes place.
In your case, Polygon_1 gets intersected with some other geometry and as a result, you have two polygons that refer to the original, Polygon_1_1 and Polygon_1_2. Both new polygons point to the original polygon so you can use that to make changes to both of them using a simple for-loop:
for polygon in g_i.Polygon_1: polygon.Soil.VolumeStrain.Apply[g_i.Phases[-1]] = True polygon.Soil.VolumeStrain.epsvol[g_i.Phases[-1]] = 5
