• How Strain is converted into Displacement (Purpose is to find the initial value)

    Hi all, This may be the basic question but need to know that. Question => Strain is the change in the dimension over the initial one , so it is provided as the percentage or fraction. In Plaxis stress will be derived from the induced strain and the…
  • Stress in newly activated soil clusters - can it be manually increased?

    Hi, I am wanting to add newly activated soil clusters with higher initial stress than the surrounding soil, in a Plaxis 3d model. This is to simulate an increase in horizontal stress in a localised area of matrix soil due to stone column installation…
  • plaxis stress file

    I want to simulate a axially loaded pile (2d or 3d does not matter). Initially I want to apply only gravity. 1. I want extract a stress file (stress for every gauss point in every element). Is it possible? How do I extract it? 2. Modify the stresses externally…
  • Extracting stresses from Python

    Hi, I try to extract stress from the python. The extracted results are different from the plots. soilS1 = g_o.getresults(g_o.Phases[- 1 ], g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.SigmaTotal1, 'node' ) . or sd1 = g_o.getsingleresult(g_o.Phases[-1], g_o.ResultTypes…
