Hi, I need to model a bored pile wall with shotcrete between the piles and a pile head cap in Plaxis 2D ultimate. Am I better to model this as an equivalent plate element using the effective stiffness per meter length or as an embedded beam row? Thank…

Hello All, I have a question about the hardening soil model. In PLAXIS we have HS and HSsmall for modeling soil behavior. In HSsmall, there is a parameter gamaa_07 to incorporate dynamic behavior which is not included in HS. Also, in the materials…

Hello, Can anyone please help as how can I model " lateral soil slippage at the sides of the pile" using embedded beam in PLAXIS. Thank you, Faisal

Dear PLAXIS Team, i need to perform some calculations considering the thermal flow within PLAXIS 3D. According to the PLAXIS 3D Manual, this should be possible with at least an ADV licence. Unfortunately i cannot find any options to use these features…

Hey, I am using the Plaxis 3D tutorial on suction pile as a base for my project where I am analysing the pullout capacity. After calculations, how do I get the load-displacement curves? knowing that we did not add the load directly to the pile but…

Hi all, I'm trying to deep excavation in Plaxis2D. But in some phases I get error code:101 warning. This collapse does not happen when I go down to the excavation base level, but when I define the foundation slab (node-to-node anchor) located at the…

I give -20 kN/m (point load) on my shallow foundation but when i calculate it. there is no any Fy apllied to my project ps. I activate oint load already Thank you

I know Python can be used for the newer versions. Is there any way to automate the modeling, settings, and calculation process for Plaxis 8.6?

Hello, i want to create a pile as a volume element. ive created an interface but im not sure how to simulate the skin and base friction with the interface. Can anyone help me plase? Thank you :)

Hello. I want to ask about error code 34. I'm currently modeling soil improvement using vacuum consolidation, but when I'm calculating error code 34, how do I solve the error regarding the ultimate state not reached in groundwater flow analysis?

Dear I am using the Trial version of the Plaxis 3D Ultimate, but I could not find any options regarding the thermal/temperature specifications! I saw some of the examples of the Plaxis related to the “thermal flow”, “earth gradient”, “thermal flow boundary…

Dear I modeled a real region and import data from the point cloud data into Plaxis. I defined the “surface groundwater flow boundary condition” to define different infiltration for different areas. The infiltration behavior is set to “time dependent…

Hi, I am getting very high excess pore pressures at particular nodes beneath the pile cap, adjacent to the embedded beams as shown below,. This is causing very slow convergence and excess pwp is not changing after particular point. (fig 1 - phase before…

Hello. I want to ask about the column diameter equation from Axisymmetric model to Plan strain model, is it in plaxis or is there any geotechnical expert who recommends a special formula to convert the equivalent diameter from Axisymmetric model to Plan…

Hello, I am doing PLASXIS 3D analysis for the Deep Mixed (DM) column installed in soft soil under the embankment load. DM columns are made by extruding a cylindrical volume and replacing the soft soil material with the DM column material. The soft soil…

Hello mr & mrs. I want to ask about how to find out the distribution of earth stress due to embankment load on Plaxis 2D? I am planning to install a PVD, where the regulations in my country recommend that the PVD must be installed at a depth of soil that…

I want to ask when reviewing soil improvement using PVD, why is the result of the decrease in time using my plaxis 2D when 2 m spacing is faster than 1.5 m spacing and 1.5 m spacing is faster than 1 m spacing?shouldn't pvd spaced closer should be faster…

Dear Referring the Plaxis manual and figure 1, we can define the precipitation in the sloped area and by considering the coupled flow-deformation analyses, we can define the deformation on the sloped area and, also, the pressure on the wall of the structure…

I am trying to save and export plot of different forces and displacement for a plate. Should I use this function Structuralforcesplot? or am I mistaken? Which function should I use to generate contour plots of a pile cap modelled using a plate?

Hello everybody I perform seismic analysis in Plaxis 2D model by using a harmonic signal (0.11 g, 1 Hz). I set horizontally fixed lateral boundaries and used absorbent boundaries in dynamic analysis (free field for boundaryX and compliant for boundaryY…

Hello everyone, I'm approaching plaxis 2D LE software. I'm trying to open models from Plaxis LE Manager, but when I open them I cannot see anything in the 2D LE software. I've just a white screen. Can someone help me? Thank you

Dear Many thanks for your information. We know that in the Plaxis, we can create constitutive model programmed using FORTRAN and implement in PLAXIS through the "User Defined Soil Model" to create our own equations for the materials. I have a question…

Dear Does the Plaxis 3D have the “Parallel GPU solver and computation” to analyze the models, which could be time-consuming, to reduce and save the time of analyzing the models? If yes, where is it located? How could I access that to solve and analyze…

#PREdesign #Firstdesign #not-final-design Hey, I'd like to back to give additional informations about my last question. As i have already said, i'm geologist, student in M2 geosciences for energy at Paris Cergy University. For my master thesis,…

Hello, Please, i'm BELOUAD Rabah, student in M2 Geosciences of energy at Paris Cergy University. I'd like use Plaxis to design the anchor pile of floating windfarm for my master thesis but i didn't use it before, if someone could help me in this…
