• Reached total force Fy- Prescribed displacement over a footing on piles example.

    Dear all, I'm trying to find the pressure applied over a footing on piles that leads to a displacement of 0.025 m. The method of Prescribed displacement is used and the reached total force Fy is checked once the calculation is done as shown in the following…
  • load - displacement curve for prescribed displacement deformation

    I found the article that talks about (How to get a load - displacement curve using Scripting interface). It was useful and I tried it, and it worked smoothly with Python. Now, the problem I have is different from the one given in the example in the…
  • While modelling of axisymmetric ground anchor unable to apply tensile load on the tendon. Why is that so?

    I am trying to model a grouted ground anchor using PLAXIS 2D as an axis-symmetric model. I am able to apply prescribed displacement and successfully find the resistance force. But now I need to apply tensile load to model the long term performance. But…
