• Regarding Mesh

    Hi, I had created a model and had meshed it. Now, I want to change some components in my model. Do i have to remesh the model or is there any feature for that. So that i do not have to remesh the entire model.
  • Hi, how can I use the Python API to model tunnels?

    Hi, how can I use the Python API to model tunnels? I'm already going crazy! If I use the process of Tunnel Designer to code and model, the code will terminate when assigning material to the tunnel plate unit, and the error is' The plate unit does not…
  • Different output for the same type of construction stage

    I am using plaxis 3d to model geocell under static loading i.e plate load test. I want to analyze the effect of pocket shape of geocell in the numerical modeling, hence i make 2 different scenarios, i.e. real shape geocell and diamond shape geocell…
  • Meshing Issue

    I have been trying to simulate the triaxial test on a UBC PLM sand sample with fibres reinforced into the model. The fibres are assigned as embedded beams. The sample is cylindrical with a diameter of 50mm and 100mm in height. The analysis works fine…
  • Fatal rror while generating mesh

    Hey, I am trying to calculate pullout capacity of a suction caisson for my thesis at the end of Aug. I am new at using Plaxis (less than a month) and I've found a tutorial on plaxis website. I have followed it through and got results. However, the…

  • 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…
  • Reclamation Works and Quay Construction

    Hi, I have an issue with a PLAXIS 2D model I have been working on. This model looks at the various stages of quay wall construction for a virgin site with fill behind the retaining wall. My fill behind the wall appears to be failing in wedge failure…
  • Assigning material parameter to a group of elements without using geometric boundary

    Hi Everyone, Does anyone know a way to group some elements (without using geometric boundary) and assign a parameter to it? The goal is to just assign the parameter if the elements located inside a set of coordinates while keeping the uniformity…
  • PLAXIS 3D Meshing Fails

    Generally we have problem with the meshing module in PLAXIS 3D. The only time that we get a successful meshing of the program is where the project is made of horizontal/vertical lines/surfaces. Otherwise, majority of inclined/curved/irregular surfaces…
  • "Warning: small embedded beam elements generated" messages in considerable long embedded beam piles

    Hello PLAXIS team, I currently using PLAXIS 3D V20 to work on a complex model that I created using 3D 2017 in the past and every time I mesh the model I get a bunch of warning message saying that I have small embedded beam elements generated This…
  • Mesh Improving

    Hi, Can anyone give us some advice/tips to improve quality meshing for low angle interception surfaces. We have tried local refinements but even size elements got smaller mesh quality is not improving... thanks in advance. Here you have some images…
