Hello,
I am importing a complicated part of a geometry to Plaxis 3D. It should be a soil volume and in the DXF format is a 3D solid object. While I am importing that, I faced an error:
It contains no surfaces or volumes.
Advise on this matter!
Enjoy summer :)
Hi Rayhaneh
PLAXIS 3D's import only supports parametric geometry, see e.g. https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45917/how-do-i-import-a-geometry-in-plaxis-3d
If your DXF contains triangulated geometry, it will likely not be recognized.
Can you send the dxf file via https://apps.bentley.com/srmanager/ProductSupport ?
Hi,
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, it is not possible to send the file.
How can I check that it is parametric to triangulated geometry?
Isnt it related to the rounding error that happened after importing to Plaxis?
Cheers,
Reyhaneh
Dear Reyhaneh,
I have also replied to your service request.
In general, I would recommend checking the CAD software for more information on the geometry.
With MicroStation you can see the options in the following articles about creating parametric smart solids:

There is already a service request on this topic with number: 7001096788.Please send me any relevant files over there so that I can check them in detail.
Thank you!
