RE: Save analysis while calculating a phase

No problem!

And if you have multiple projects, you can also use our Calculation manager for PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D

Thank you Stefane for the immediate response!

Hello Giorgo,

Unfortunately, that is not possible. This is mostly related to the way the calculation kernel works, specific files that are prepared at the beginning of the phase (e.g., boundary conditions) and more.

Since you know the trick to saving the results on each phase that can help when you would need to restart PLAXIS. Note that if the calculation takes too long it might be good to check for anything to simplify to make the calculation more efficient.

For instance, reduce the number of elements, especially in the far-away domain, simplify the geometry, check for an axis of symmetry to simulate a half or quarter-symmetric model, and investigate the Convergence log if something causes slow convergence.
