How to model barretes using Embedded beams?

Question

Dear plaxis, 
 How can we model a rectangular barrette as an embedded beam row?

Hello Jamal, 
 You may use &ldquo;User-defined&rdquo; in Cross section type to define its geometry properties of an embedded beam (row in 2D). However, is often used for a pile row. You may check literature or calibrate before using it for a rectangular barrette.
