Importing a complicated 3D geometry to Plaxis 3D

Question

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 ?

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:
