PLAXIS MoDeTo CE V20.03.00 Release notes

New in PLAXIS MoDeTo CONNECT Edition V20 Update 3

Release: June 2020

PLAXIS MoDeTo CONNECT Edition V20 Update 3 (20.03.00.60) contains the following improvements and updates compared to PLAXIS MoDeTo CONNECT Edition V20 Update 2:

New features

Soil reaction curves in Design Verification
Soil reaction curves have been added for comparison between the Design Verification model and the 1D analysis.
Partially calculated state
Partially calculated state has been introduced to represent a 3D FEM model that did not finish the entire calculation. However, PLAXIS MoDeTo can still produce some curves from the results gathered.
Change in default value of max load fraction per step in 1D analysis
Default value of max load fraction per step in 1D analyses has been changed to 0.01, enabling smoother results without a significant increase in calculation time.
Streamlined the regeneration of 3D FEM models
The regeneration of 3D FEM models has been streamlined for speed and efficiency.
Improved navigation on tables
Navigation on tables has been improved by supporting the use of Enter key that allows navigating vertically between table cells.
Internal Python environment
PLAXIS MoDeTo now runs using the internal Python environment that is provided with PLAXIS 3D.
Technology preview: Exporting soil reaction curves
Export to SACS option has been added for Soil reaction curves.

Fixed issues

A large number of issues have been addressed, including:

  • [SW-28821] Performance improvements for the regeneration of existing 3D models
  • [SW-29869] Tables can now be navigated using the Enter key
  • [SW-42579] Soil reaction curves from 3D Design Verification models can now be displayed
  • [SW-46461] Results for the base shear force, H_B, are now displayed as a point load, separate from the distributed load values, p(z)
  • [SW-48235] Fixed issue with stress-dependency law of sand always using the horizontal stress instead of the minimum principal stress
