  • dynamic analysis of an earth dam

    Hi, im doing a dynamic analysis of an earth dam and I am a little confused of the boundary conditions I need to use because as you can see in the figure my model is moving like a rigid solid. I create a Line Displacement in the bottom with my Displacement…
  • Dynamic analysis - Boundary Conditions

    Hi there, I am applying the earthquake time history as a prescribed displacement at the base of the model. The problem I am encountering when the strong shaking starts is that the side boundaries deform too much - see below. My lower boundary is a compliant…
  • 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…
  • Plaxis 2D - Error code 33 - free field boundaries in dynamic analysis

    Good morning, I am trying to run a dynamic analysis and the error code 33 appears stopping the analysis at the beginning. In the model there are not embdedded beams. Probably the issue is in the creation of free-field boundaries, because if I set…
