• High Vertical Displacements and Variable Acceleration Values in Dynamic Analysis

    Dear sir/madam, I have two questions about a dynamic analysis model consists of sandy layers with (c=0). I indicated the cohesion values of the soil because i have high vertical displacements in my analysis (in the order of 20-30cm). There isn't groundwater…
  • validation of pullout test

    Hello Everyone ! I try to validate FEM pullout test of single bar by comparing results with test data. I have performed laboratory pullout test, as a result getting test curve - relation.Force - Displacement I know internal friction angle of filling…
  • Earthquake analysis (Interface)

    Hello Everyone, I know in PLAXIS , when we do an earthquake analysis we define interface boundaries along the side and bottom boundaries . IF I do the same in PLAXIS #D, should I do the same, Please advise. Thanks , Faisal
  • Edges of plates with interfaces on both sides

    Dear PLAXIS community, I am working on a soldier pile retaining wall with embedded steel piles. I have to use a PLAXIS 3D model for this purpose for different reasons which I do not mention here. I modelled the piles with plate elements and interfaces…
  • Meshing Issue - Overlap of mesh at interfaces on mesh view.

    When refining my mesh after checking it is clear of any issues with geometry and selecting "View Mesh" I get this: An overlap between the interface and plate section - this area of the mesh looks incorrect and as if it is folding on itself. Interestingly…
