With the release of PLAXIS 3D 2016, it is now possible to add rockbolts to tunnel segments in the Tunnel Designer directly. Users can assign multiple rockbolt configurations to the same segment or assign the configuration across multiple segments. An offset, length, as well as the number of bolts and their spacing along the tunnel perimeter and along the trajectory, can be given to each configuration.
