Problem description

In some rare cases, the Plaxis 3D 2013 Output program cannot open a phase result, and it causes an error message / bug report, or the Output program does not respond anymore. This can happen due to an incorrect initialization of a result type that is not even used in any result plot or table.

Solution

This issue is solved since PLAXIS 3D AE.00.

To overcome this issue when still using PLAXIS 3D 2013, we created a special patched version of the PLAXIS 3D 2013.01 Output program (Version 2013.01 build 10082). This is to replace the Output version that is part of the official release: Output Version 2013.01 build 9831. To replace it:

• Download the new Output program (Plaxis3DOutput.exe) below
• Replace the existing Plaxis3DOutput program with this version
• After replacing the file, start it, open the menu item Help > About
• and check if the Plaxis 3D Output program is indeed Version 2013.01 build 10082
