GeoStudio | PLAXIS - Water weight only updated in the initial phase

Problem description

In PLAXIS 2D Classic, PLAXIS 2D2012 and earlier, there is an option to define the water weight in each staged construction phase via the menu item Geometry > Water. However, this will only have the desired effect when

the water weight is changed in the initial phase
and when it is done prior to calculation
and when not using Updated Mesh

Solution

This issue is now resolved in PLAXIS 2DAE: the water weight is now a project property.

For PLAXIS 2D Classic, PLAXIS 2D2012 and earlier: When not using Updated Mesh, the water weight should only be adjusted in the initial phase and should not be changed in any other phase.
