Since PLAXIS 2D 2015, the user interface provides an option to copy or array objects: first select the items you want to copy (array), and then choose the array tool in Structures mode:

This is also possible using the command line with the arrayr command. For older versions (2D AE), the command line is the only option to perform this operation.

The command has the following structure:

arrayr (Line_1 Point_33) A B C

Parameters:

arrayr	the command
(Line_1 Point_33)	the objects to be copied or arrayed (this may be multiple objects)
A	the number of copies (note that the original object is included in this number so a value of 2 will give just one copy)
B	offset in x-direction
C	offset in y-direction
