    PLAXIS 3D Tutorial 01: Foundation in overconsolidated clay

    Application PLAXIS 3D
    Version PLAXIS 3D 2013
    Date created 04 October 2018
    Date modified 16 May 2022

    In this chapter a first application of PLAXIS 3D is considered, namely the settlement of a foundation in clay. This is the first step in becoming familiar with the practical use of the program.
    The general procedures for the creation of a geometry, the generation of a finite element mesh, the execution of a finite element calculation and the evaluation of the output results are described here in detail. The information provided in this chapter will be utilised in the following lessons. Therefore, it is important to complete this first lesson before attempting any further tutorial examples.
