Hello,
I am not quite sure how should I calculate the total discharge in a line drain on plaxis 3D. Each drain is divided in several segments depending on the meshing, each segment have 3 nodes with the same Total discharge (in the drain table in the Plaxis Output). If I want to compute the total discharge of a line drain, should I add up the value for each node of the drain or the value of each segment?.
Regards,
Dear Antonio,
The results are provided per node of the drain but the value you see is the same in all nodes and the value per node represents the total discharge of the drain. This means that you do not need to multiply the number of nodes of the drain, as the value on one node is the total discharge already.
