On the Plaxis Knowledge Base / Support section, we have made command log files (*.p2dxlog for PLAXIS 2D, *.p3dlog for PLAXIS 3D) available for e.g. Tutorial examples or Validation and Verification cases. It is very easy to execute such log files either by 1) copying and pasting or 2) save the command log file and open it in the Commands Runner.

Option 1: Copy and paste command log files

When clicking on a log file link, in most Internet browsers, you will see the content of this file as a list of commands. You can just copy the content of this log file directly from your browser and paste it in the Commands Runner (available via the Expert > Run Commands... menu item).

Troubleshooting

• certain browsers, like Internet Explorer, may not properly recognise line breaks, and then copy & paste does not work correctly. For this, please use the second method to save the log file and load it in the Commands Runner.

Note: the Commands Runner is a Geotechnical SELECT Entitlement [GSE]-feature (formerly known as PLAXIS VIP). Without this GSE, you can open the command log file with any text editor, like Notepad, and then execute the commands via the command line command-by-command.
