• Formulations used for the HSS constitutve model

    Hi all, I am trying to recreate the stress-strain curves from the HSS formulation to have a better understanding about the calibration process. I am using the following formulation as displayed in the "Material Models" manual: Nevertheless, this…
  • Equivalent properties in Beam & Plate max. Axial force in Plaxis 3D

    Hi all, 01. What is the purpose of converting input parameters to equivalent properties in Plaxis 3D and how it goings to influence in the result? 02. Please explain about the axial force calculation based on the following page in reference manual…
  • Material model-curved relationship between stress and shear strength

    Can a material be modeled in PLAXIS with a predefined curved relationship between stress and shear strength? Mohr-Coulomb and HSS models assume either independent or linear shear strength relative to normal effective stress. Thanks!
  • Modified Cam Clay and Soft Soil Material Parameter Determination

    Hi all, I am using the Modified Cam Clay in my model, and while trying to calibrate the model to the lab test curves, I noticed a possible inconsistency in the definition of the stiffness parameters lambda and kappa. In the material manual of Plaxis…
  • Material properties for the plates in Plaxis 3D

    Hi, I started to learn Plaxis 3D and I have basic doubt in the material assign for the plates. In the plate tab there is only one tab to define the equivalent thickness of the plate, young modulus and shear modulus from their Plaxis automatically calculated…
  • Python V21 Unknown property: E50Ref

    When I set material properties for Hardening Soil Model in Python V21 I receive following Error: Unknown property: E50Ref. I have already checked the Material Property changes for Python scripting for V21 and the property names should be correct. …
