  • How long a vertical cut in soil can withstand before providing any supports?

    Hi all, Let's say the soil is cut vertically and then provide any support after some days (not immediately). Are any ways to check in Plaxis how many days the soil can be vertical before failure (with the influence of soil arching etc) => no any consolidation…

  • PLAXIS 3D Tutorial 05: Phased excavation of a shield tunnel

    Generally speaking, after the tail of the shield machine is completely passed, there will be continuous consolidation settlement on the surface, that is, the settlement value at the same point will gradually increase. However, in the case tutorial, I…

  • There is no plxscripting module!

    Hello, I need to use the Plaxis script to get the result but I have this error (No module plxscripting) in the script! I did below steps: 1- Activated remote scripting server 2- Started SciTE editor 3- Included boilerplate below: from plxscripting. easy…

  • Thermal cyclic loads

    Am trying to model the effect of thermal loading on the backfill behind integral abutment by using Plaxis 2D. I modelled the concrete bridge deck as Linear Plate element and provide a prescribed displacement near the top of the abutment. The applied displacement…

  • Hi, how can I use the Python API to model tunnels?

    Hi, how can I use the Python API to model tunnels? I'm already going crazy! If I use the process of Tunnel Designer to code and model, the code will terminate when assigning material to the tunnel plate unit, and the error is' The plate unit does not…

  • Plaxis 3D_How to model post-tension concrete slab that acts as permanent support for retention system?

    Hi All, I am working on the analysis job for an excavation work? So far I have proceeded to the completion of excavation that has been temporarily supported by struts? I am about to activate the ground floor level slab and deactivate the struts…

  • 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…

  • PLAXIS LE doesn't start any module after model is picked or created.

    After the model is picked in a manager, the corresponding module doesn't start. I can check that the installation of program and dependencies went well. Is it an usual issue and is there a fix before I reinstall operating system. I can't really be…

  • Tunnel _ volume strain input

    Hi all, I was modelling the volume expansion (due to temperature change) by inputting the volume strain of material directly. But when I consider the tunnel, I cannot input the volume strain value to the lining ( plate material), so it shows the wrong…

  • When inputting the q value for precipitation in PLAXIS, do I need to multiply the rainfall (q) with the runoff coefficient (c) first?

    I am using the precipitation function to model rainwater infiltration on a slope in PLAXIS. When inputting the q value, do I need to multiply the rainfall (q) with the runoff coefficient (c) first?

  • Earthquake analysis (Interface)

    Hello Everyone, I know in PLAXIS , when we do an earthquake analysis we define interface boundaries along the side and bottom boundaries . IF I do the same in PLAXIS #D, should I do the same, Please advise. Thanks , Faisal

  • Difference between HS and HSsmall

    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…

  • distribution of earth stress

    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…

  • Finding vertical stress inside the soil.

    Hi, I am trying to model the loading of a steel plate placed on a dry sand bed and find the variation of the vertical stress with respect to the depth of the sand bed. I have conducted the same on the laboratory scale using a steel plate and placing…

  • What is the meaning of "Maccel" value in the calculation kernel?

    Hello everyone I wonder about the meaning of the Maccel value. I checked the Plaxis 2D reference manual and it says "The value of this parameter is always 0." Why it's always zero and what does it do? Thank you

  • Error 111

    Hello, I am attempting to model a plate subject to an upward imposed displacement in a soil mass with two soil layers (see figure below). I activated the plate, the displacement and both soil polygons and then started the calculation. This resulted…
