  • Unable to converge after conversion from PLAXIS 3D 2018 to PLAXIS 3D CE V22

    Hi all, I'm currently doing a project on tunneling and wanted to use the model from the previous project for it. However, the previous project used PLAXIS 3D 2018 and we recently upgraded to PLAXIS 3D CE V22. The warnings that appeared when the file…
  • Plaxis 3D converting Files from V21 to V22

    Dear Sirs, Whist opening a file that was computed using V21 with V22, it appears that all of the results and mesh were lost during converting of files. Historically, Plaxis versions were forward compliant, however, this does not seems to be the case…
  • 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
  • Large Displacement in Consolidation Phase

    Greetings to whoever reading this, I'm modeling construction of a pre-loading embankment on soft soil, to be improved by pre-loading and PVD's, to get the ultimate consolidation settlement and the time needed for it under the effect of the embankment…
