  • Modeler: Boundaries

    Boundaries are any border around elements of a cross-section, internal or external to the CS. The Boundary constraints are defined by a set of connected boundary line segments and the options are shown in the image below. More information about…
  • Excess pore water pressure is non-zero at the soil-drain interface

    I installed a PVD (line drain) on MCC soil model and completed a consolidation analysis. In the output, the excess pore pressure at the drain is non-zero. I have used very fine mesh for this study, taking the smallest element as possible. How can I make…
  • Boundary conditions in the case of a pseudo static analysis

    Hi, I am doing pseudo static analysis in earth dam to calculate the yield acceleration for different geometry and property configurations. I have questions about the boundary conditions to calculate this value, because my ky_crit change depending if my…
  • Unable to trim Bodies

    Hello , Im trying to create a barge in Maxsurf and have managed to modify one of the existing models to have the correct particulars and frame spacing. I have created the individual ballast water tanks in maxsuf modeler but I am unable to trim them…
  • Making triangles permanently visible when editing the terrain model boundary

    Using Openroads Designer: I've created a ruled boundary, editing the edge triangles has not been an issue. However, the triangles disappear whenever I move/insert vertex on the boundary. I then have to reselect the terrain model to view its properties…
  • Compliant base for dynamic analysis

    Good morning, I am wondering if the compliant base at the horizontal base of the model is capable or not to dissipate also downward waves with both horizontal and vertical direction (model with horizontal line displacement for the horizontal component…
  • Intersection Terrain Model

    I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user. I created the incoming road and the intersection using breaklines. The issue I am running into is that the road coming into the approach has a 6" pavement depth and the intersection has 10" I wanted to…
  • Key-In: Select Clipping Element for Reference Clip Boundary

    Hello, I have a set of plans sheets that need to reference a master file. The master file then has to be clipped to a specific element on a specific level. I am trying to automate this process using a batch process. In order to begin the clipping…
  • In dewatered excavation with high water table, why do I see external water loads on excavation side? How to prevent external water loads?

    I have a dewatered tied-back caisson wall excavation with a high water table in PLAXIS 2D. Throughout excavation stages I set soil clusters to dry. ymin boundary is open, all others are closed. Why are external water loads showing up in output? How to…
  • Terrain Intersection Boundary

    Something I think would make a very useful addition would be a tool that enables the generation of a 3d string where 2 terrains intersect. The only way i can think of doing now, is with a delta terrain and using the 0m contour. But it would be nice to…
  • Terrain Model Boundary Problem

    This is for PowerGEOPAK SS10 I don't think this is a unique problem but I can't seem to find any answer on it. The terrain model I was working on had a boundary created from Extract Graphic and I manipulate the boundary and it just expands to it as…
