The Design approaches-feature is a useful tool to apply partial factors to material dataset parameters and load values according to a design approach, e.g., Eurocode 7. However, in PLAXIS 2D AE, the partial load factor is incorrectly not applied to the bending moment (M) as part of the PointLoad-object.
This issue is now solved since PLAXIS 2D 2015.00
As a workaround in PLAXIS 2D AE:
