• How does discontinuity element stiffness affect results?

    Hi, I am searching for documentation on how the discontinuity element stiffness affects the results such as deformation and stress. Is there any documentation other than section 6.3.2.1. in the reference manual? The discontinuity element does…
  • UDSM Interface stiffness from Eoed

    Hi all, In the manual it is mentioned that, when using a UDSM, the interface stiffness must be specified by the user in the form of a power law with Eoedref along with UD-pref and UD-Power. How does plaxis utilize this information? Does it use it to assign…
  • Find out the Mobilized Stiffness in Hardening Soil Model

    Hi All, Is there a way to extract the mobilized stiffness when using the Hardening Soil Model (or HSS)? I am interested in a numeric value (and not a symbol). Thanks
  • Secant (or Tangent) shear modulus degradation curve for Hardening Soil Small

    Hello all, I want to verify that stiffness parameters used in Hardening Soil Model are, in fact, correctly computing the degradation curve and Eo at any level of stress and strain. I ran a simple Ko-undrained-triaxial-compression test with confinement…
  • Stiffness modulus when using Hardening soil and Undrained B

    Hi, I am performing calculations in Plaxis 2D for a deep excavation and am using the Hardening soil model. However i want to set a clay layer to Undrained B as i dont want to overestimate the shear strength of the material. When i change it to undrained…
