  • Simulating Heating and Waterflow/Drying around a buried powerline

    Hello there! We're currently using Plaxis2D with its PaxFlow and Thermal Modules to simulate the behaviour of liquid soil as a filling material for buried power lines. In our case we got field data from a ton of sensors recording the actual soil-behaviour…
  • About a curved thermal boundary

    Hi, I am currently try to use the PLAXIS Thermal 2D to build a thermal boundary for the tunnel interface. However, it seems like the Polycurve inside PLAXIS is not able to create a thermal boundary for it. Do you know if there is any other option…
