  • Equivalent properties in Beam & Plate max. Axial force in Plaxis 3D

    Hi all, 01. What is the purpose of converting input parameters to equivalent properties in Plaxis 3D and how it goings to influence in the result? 02. Please explain about the axial force calculation based on the following page in reference manual…
  • Plaxis 3d - steel cap

    Hi ! I would like to ask, if I model a temporary deep excavation using plate elements with one row of temporary steel strut's with cap, should I increase the moment of inertia of the cap according to parallel axis theorem (Steiner)? Standard…
  • Internal forces in piles modeled as a volume-type element

    Good morning, I have a question regarding the modeling of piles as a volume-type element in PLAXIS 3D. The axial forces that I obtain using the dummy beam and the "Structural forces in volume piles" tool give me different results, especially for the last…

  • Face bolting in PLAXIS 3D

    Hello, in the PLAXIS bulletin "Preliminary 3D Modelling of Structural behaviour of Face Bolting and Umbrella Arch in Tunneling" face bolte were moddeled with embedded beams and spring elements. In this paper, no major differences between these two methods…
  • How can I model a hinge between two beams?

    I want to model hinges at the end of a beam which is connected to several other beams. How can I do that in Plaxis 3D? Thanks for your help!

  • Warning - very small embedded beam elements generated

    Hello! I am running a model with many embedded beams and plates on top (piled raft) and when meshing I am recieving this warning, "very small embedded beam elements generated". Is it something that effect the results? How can I solve it? Tried meshing…
  • (For Deep Excavation) How or what form should i build the diagonal strut (/knee strut) in ELS

    Hi, I am building the ELS model in Plaxis 3D. I am wondering what form (beam, node to node anchor) should I apply for the strut, which required to preloading. (I think it should be node-node due to prestressing) But there are 2 diagonal struts connected…
