    PLAXIS 2D CE V20.02.00 Release notes

    New in PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20 Update 2

    Release: March 2020


    PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20 Update 2 (20.02.00.83) contains the following improvements and updates compared to PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20 Update 1:

    New features

    2D Classic converter tool
    A tool has been added for converting PLAXIS 2D 2010/2D 2011/2D 2012 and PLAXIS 2D Classic projects (*.P2D) into logfiles that can be executed in PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition. This means that older PLAXIS files with the *.P2D can directly be converted to PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V20 Update 2 right from the Input program. For more details on the file conversion options, please see Conversion of PLAXIS 2D files
    Reduced file size
    The result files of intermediate steps in a calculation phase are now stored as single-precision floating-point numbers, instead of double-precision floating-point numbers. This reduces the file size of especially dynamic projects greatly.
    New command: clearmaterial
    A clearmaterial command has been added for removing the material assigned to a feature.
    When using the Right Mouse Button (RMB) on any object with a material assigned to it, you can now choose to clear the material. This is also available in the Tunnel Designer.
    Easier access to ProjectWise and Cloud services
    New buttons are added to the main toolbar to make it easier using Bentley's ProjectWise and Cloud Services to set up an Associated Project. This information is now also available via the Project properties in the new tab Cloud services
    New location for the PLAXIS-Python Distribution
    With the release of PLAXIS CE V20.02.00, the PLAXIS Python Distribution is placed in a dedicated versioned location within the ProgramData folder. By default, this is:
    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Geotechnical\PLAXIS Python Distribution v1.0.0
    This allows for both PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D applications to access this shared distribution for all the functionality that require using Python Scripting facilities, keeping all the modules up to date and fully compatible with PLAXIS.
    Technology Preview: Exporting to ParaView
    A tool has been added for exporting the Finite Element Model and the calculation results to ParaView.

    Fixed issues

    A large number of issues have been addressed.

    The following known issues have been resolved:

    • Solved: Ignoring suction after a fully coupled flow-deformation analysis in Safety analysis gives incorrect stresses in PLAXIS 2D
    • Solved: Permeability value change not stored when changing from From data set to None
