    PLAXIS 2D CE V20.01.00 Release notes

    New in PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20 Update 1

    Release: January 2020


    PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20 Update 1 (20.01.00) contains the following improvements and updates compared to PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20 Service release 1:

    New features

    Improved User Interface
    The user interface for the PLAXIS applications has been updated with new Bentley icons and images. A splash screen is now being shown at startup of the Input and Output applications.
    Compressed storage of result files
    In the phase settings now it is possible to enable compression for result files. Compressed files are smaller in size but there is a small performance overhead when opening them in Output.
    Improved the command for modifying soil layer levels
    It is now possible to change several soil layer levels of a borehole at once, providing better performance for large models.
    Quick start window
    The "Quick select" window has been redesigned to show the latest news and the state of licences too. It also has a new look and feel and is renamed to "Quick start".
    Bentley Cloud Services
    Bentley Cloud Services option in the File menu allows the association of a Connected Bentley project to a PLAXIS project.
    PLAXIS UDSM
    The PLAXIS installation now comes with all PLAXIS User Defined Soil Models (UDSM), including these newly developed constitutive (soil) models:
    • Masonry;
    • OC-Clay;
    • Hoek and Brown with softening (HBS).
    New location for the PLAXIS-Python Distribution
    With the release of PLAXIS CE V20.01.00, the PLAXIS Python Distribution is placed in a dedicated location within the ProgramData folder. By default, this is:
    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Geotechnical\PLAXIS Python Distribution
    This allows for both PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D applications to access this shared distribution for all the functionality that require using Python Scripting facilities, keeping all the modules up to date and fully compatible with PLAXIS.
    Importing SoilVision Models - Technology Preview
    SVSlope 2D model geometry and soil material placeholders can be imported from the File menu.
    Westergaard Added Mass - Technology Preview
    Westergaard Added Mass feature has been added, which can be used to model the effects of any liquid against a structure under dynamic loading conditions (earthquakes). E.g. the inertial effects, or additional hydrostatic pressure of a mass of water or liquid against a dam or wall.
    ProjectWise integration - Technology Preview
    Now it is possible to open a project from a ProjectWise data source or add a local project to it.
    PLAXIS 2D to 3D converter - Technology Preview
    2D to 3D converter has been added in PLAXIS 2D Input's Expert menu. Now you can easily bring your PLAXIS 2D model into PLAXIS 3D.
    Command line autocomplete - Technology Preview
    The Command-line autocomplete feature makes using the command line easier by automatically suggesting commands and object names. It can be enabled and disabled from the Options menu.

    Fixed issues

    A large number of issues have been addressed.

    The following known issues have been resolved:

    • Solved: External water pressures on structures above the soil incorrect in 2D CONNECT Edition V20
    • Solved: Ignoring suction after a fully coupled flow-deformation analysis in Safety analysis gives incorrect stresses in PLAXIS 2D
