Plaxis Soil model numbers in command line

In order to define a soil material with a specific soil model directly via the command line or via remote scripting, you can use e.g.

• to add a new material^*):

  soilmat "Name" "SoilMat1" "MaterialName" "<NameInDBList>" "SoilModel" 2 "Gref" 1250

• or change the material model:

  setproperties SoilMat1 "SoilModel" 2 "Gref" 1250

As can be seen in the commands above, the name of the soil model (e.g. Mohr-Coulomb) is represented by a number. In the table below you can see the currently available soil models, its ID number to be used in the command line/remote scripting and the minimum defined parameters that are needed for a correct soil model definition that is accepted by the PLAXIS Input program.
