Hi guys, I'm trying to export Mstage and Msf plots from Plx using Python. The one way I've found on forum is step=[] Msf=[] plt.figure() for phase in MsfPhases:       step_x=[]       Msf_x=[]       for c,s in enumerate(phase.Steps[::10…

Hi guys, I'm trying to create geometry in python and it's not exactly standard rectangles or anything. So when I add points to the lines, the point may not be accurately sitting on the line (not snap to the line) if I use python to create points with…

Dear sir/madam, I have a question about the maximum frequency value (fmax) in the critical mesh size formula. There are already questions here and other platforms, but i couldn't be sure because i have seen different usages of this parameter. Should…

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am modelling a steady state groundwater condition for a simple slope and I am having an error 101, in which the soil body seems to collapse. My intention is to use the pore pressures from this analysis in a subsequent…

Hey guys, I'm currently running a simulation where the sheet pile wall is anchored by -2.5 m below the terrain. The soil geometry is imported from AutoCAD.dxf file. The anchor props. are Elastic, Lspacing=4, EA=294000kN. and I apply a prestress of…

Dear all, I'm attempting to implement a constitutive model containing thermal variables (temperature rate) into Plaxis. The latest reference manual shows that Subroutine User_mod Sig0(18) and Sig0(19) are the temperature at the beginning of the current…

Hi, despite running a consolidation analysis using steady state ground flow calculation type the excess pore pressure won't dissipate. The ground stratifacation is as follows: Backfill followed by upper clay layer, sand in the middle and a clay layer…

The foundation is modeled as a plate element having the following properties: EA = 59450820.01 kN/m EI = 19816940 kNm2/m w = 26 kN/m/m (considering a unit weight of 24 kN/m3 for the underlying rock and a footing thickness of 2m) Please note that the…

Hey guys, I'm now working on a small case where a plate in inserted in two layers of soil. The soil and plate models are also imported from .dxf file. The plate is imported as a whole line and I created the plate as well as the interfaces as a whole…

I am working on a deep excavation project in plaxis 2D and I need to retrieve the earth pressure ( active and passive) acting on the bored pile. how can I proceed to get them ? I appreciate any help.

Dear sir/madam, I have two questions about the use of boundary conditions for an earthquake analysis according to the type of input motion: 1) If we have a rock outcrop motion and we have the deconvolved version of this input motion at the base of…

Hello, I'm trying to model an excavation in an axisymmetric 2D model. Water pressure was defined in a particular way at the initial phase where the bottom soil layer was set to dry and the layer just above it was set to "interpolate", resulting in a…

Dear sir/madam, I saw a post in the forum about the critical mesh size including a phrase like this "fmax= The frequency value at which fourier amplitude starting to decrease " and i'm a bit confused about this topic. In order to calculate the critical…

Dear sir/madam, I have two questions about the mesh size in the dynamic analysis. While we are studying on a dynamic analysis model consists of a multilayered soil profile with varying Vs values and includes some tight structural elements at the center…

Dear sir/madam, I have seen a similar question in the forum but i couldn't be sure about this topic. While we're studying on a dynamic analysis and using HS Small Model for the soil layers, should we use different Elasticity modulus values (E50, Eoed…

Hello All, I am trying to model a footing as a plate element in PLAXIS 2D. I have attached the figure I intend to work as follows. I have two queries regarding to model is in PLAXIS. My actual foundation depth is 1.5m and the footing slab…

From tutorial 8: construction of a road embankment, create curves of displacement uy and time. At the first consolidation (phase 2), the time interval is set at 300 days and 20 days to compare. The question are: - Why do 2 curves not match each other…

Hi all, Please explain what these options will do in the results? Thanks.

Although I uploaded my student certificate that I received from the university to the system, I was told that it would be reviewed in 1 or 2 days, but no one reached me, could you please help?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I have tried to evaluate the structural forces in a tunnel with the help of the automated tool from plaxis (Structural Forces in Volume Plate), This works pretty good for the large areas of the tunnel, but there are still…

Hi all, In one of the webinar regarding the tunnel explanation, the presenter used Emstage 0.5 when excavating tunnel. Can anyone tell what is the purpose of that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZZzXRZdlJI Thanks.
