CREATING AN ALGORTIHM ON PLAXIS 3D

Question

Hello My name is Emre; 
 I work on an article which is related to piping on earthfill dam.So only thing that i should do in to check the hydraulic gradient in stress tabsheet in output.Then, comparing to critical hydraulic gradient(which is already known).If the new hydraulic gradinet is bigger than critical, then piping can most occur there.Afterhat i should create a new zone which will cover it in terms of hydraulic gradient issue .And i should perform these steps ahead downsteam.That is the project that i work on.These analysis will take too much time,minimum 40 or 50 times.So i started to search an algorithm to carry out these process instead of me.I think an algorithm must be composed of PLAXIS input and output and consist of these rules below; 
 1-Calculation in input 
 2-Mark the zone which new hydraulic gradient is bigger than criticial and get the new coordinates according to can be fitted the mesh rules(it can be a rectangular or square) 
 3-create a new surface by using new coordinate points 
 4 and re-analyse. 
 
 Also, if you want to see the article here is the link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331938212_Geotechnics_of_Soil_Erosion 
 
 I would like to ask a way which can help me to deal with the process.Thank you!

Dear Emre, 
 The description you provide seems to be exactly the reason why we have implemented our Scripting facilities. I would advise you to check our Wiki pages for some examples and additional information: 
 https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45393/api-python-scripting---plaxis 
 You will find that using Python scripting you can automate processes and skip the effort of performing repetitive tasks. 
 Note that with PLAXIS CONNECT Edition we also have a Scripting reference that can assist you: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45447/scripting-reference-and-how-to-use-it
