Is there an official Plaxis reference or literature reference supporting the use of non zero cohesion and tensile strength (eg 1 kPa), to improve numerical calculation?

Hi all, I'm currently doing a project on tunneling and wanted to use the model from the previous project for it. However, the previous project used PLAXIS 3D 2018 and we recently upgraded to PLAXIS 3D CE V22. The warnings that appeared when the file…

Dear Sirs, Whist opening a file that was computed using V21 with V22, it appears that all of the results and mesh were lost during converting of files. Historically, Plaxis versions were forward compliant, however, this does not seems to be the case…

Hello everyone I wonder about the meaning of the Maccel value. I checked the Plaxis 2D reference manual and it says "The value of this parameter is always 0." Why it's always zero and what does it do? Thank you

Greetings to whoever reading this, I'm modeling construction of a pre-loading embankment on soft soil, to be improved by pre-loading and PVD's, to get the ultimate consolidation settlement and the time needed for it under the effect of the embankment…

Dear PLAXIS user, I'm trying to run a plastic calculation phase in PLAXIS 2D, but unfortunately I get a wrong load advancement (Sigma M_stage), it's negative! And the calculation fails with error ' Load advancement procedure fails. [Error code:…

We would like to ask you what do you recommend for setting up the strongest as possible equipment for Plaxis calculations? Currently, for large geometry project and calculation types like: 3D, 2D, Dynamics, Undrained and Consolidation, the calculation…

Hi. This is a question for the account manager. The Calculation Manager window opens and I click the Add button, but the search window doesn't open. I don't know how to activate it... How can I activate it? Currently I am using the version shown below…

I am getting this message in my 5th calculation phase. the phase was running OK before i did some changes in the model. No clue about the error or problem area.

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…
