  • Residual Interface Strength for User Defined Soil Models

    Hi, Is there a way to be able to input or indicate a Residual Interface Strength at the interface of a structure and soil that is assigned with a User defined soil model? UDSM seem to have a different set of interface parameters where we input the strength…
  • Soil interface parameters

    Hello, I wanted to know if there is a way to see the soil interface parameters in the results of Plaxis. Because after applying the Rinter variable of a soil I cannot see the "new" parameters that are assigned to the interface material. Regards…
  • Problem when using Rinter = 0.01 - 0.05

    Greeting for everyone, I use Plaxis 3D to simulate deep excavation using Butress wall and Cross wall. However, when I activate interface in the early phase (using very small Rinter value), the severe divergence occurs in the output results. Is there…
  • Upper bond strength for interface elements

    we use interface elements to model interaction between structure and surrounding soil. we typically use R_int for strength and elasticity of interface. my question is that is there any upper bond for interface element stiffness and strength? for example…
  • Line segment missing in Plaxis Python interface

    When requesting the Line input objects via the Python interface, I noticed that it returns a segmented line, not the single line that you put in through the GUI. Is it possible to get the Python interface to return the single line that you put in yourself…
  • irregular high peak of stresses alona cut off wall

    Hi, by displaying the principal stresses of a line cross section in the middle of a cut off wall an irregular peak of stress keeps showing. The Plaxis Reference suggests adding interfaces to solve the problem of stress oscilations at the corners of…
  • How to get Rinter value

    Referring to the question and answer about Rinter ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/plaxis-soilvision-forum/212033/rinter-value ) We typically do not recommend parameter values as this should be based on data collected…
  • Looking for XML Schema used to produce XMLs exported from AXSYS

    Hi, I need to build an additional interface due to the customer and project requirements. For this purpose, I need to find documentation of XML Schema used to produce XML files in AXSYS when exporting process, electrical and instrumentation drawings…
  • Validation of tension pile

    I am trying to validate a small-scale rough tension pile embedded in sand using PLAXIS 3D. I am using a volume pile with the linear elastic constitutive model for concrete and sand with MC constitutive model. The volume pile was modeled with an interface…
  • how to correctly provide pile head connection while modelling a piled raft foundation?

    Here raft is modelled as a volume element and piles as embedded pile element, and a negative interface is given between raft and soli. Please kindly help as the results are coming same for the pile head connection condition.
  • Saving interface look and User Settings

    Every time I open ORD I have to recereate the way my Interface looks. even though I have been able to save the settings once or twice it doesn't last. It gets really annoying especially the fact that it won't open two windows or that my tools are all…
  • PLAXIS 2D: Tutorial 08 Questions regarding the interfaces

    Hi all, I have several questions regarding Tutorial 08 for PLAXIS 2D. 1. There seems to be a gap between my footing and upper interface. Although I have tried to merge equivalent geometric objects, it was suggested that "no equivalent geometric objects…

  • UDSM for Interfaces

    Dear Plaxis/Bentley community, we are working on soil-geogrid interaction and want to apply user-defined properties to the interface via a UDSM. The overall goal is to update the shear stiffness of the interface elements in each calculation step depending…
  • Tensile cutoff in UDSM

    I am attempting to model a joint between two tunnel sections. The joint's compressive behaviour can be approximated as a tri-linear elastic. I have created (and tested) a UDSM with tri-linear properties and that seems to works. However, because the…
  • PLAXIS fails to model MC frictional interfaces in dynamic conditions.

    I have tried validating PLAXIS 2D for the very simple case of a block connected through a linear-elastic perfectly plastic Mohr Coulomb interface to an oscillating base. The model consists in a large soil cluster of linear elastic material (the oscillating…

  • Plaxis 2D snap to crossing

    Hello. In the Plaxis 2D v2019 one could move endpoint of line and it would snap to the crossing of two other lines - a green circle appers when hovering over crossing (left side of picture below). In Plaxis 2D v2020 I can only snap to one or other line…
  • AECOSim interface migration to OBD

    Probably another common question but I have set up my AECOSim interfaces over the years to perfection in terms of everything just where I like it! I realise that the OBD interface is different to the interface I am used to, I still use the older V8i Select…
