  • Recalculate Window Basic Settings Non-linear Material

    In RM Bridge , inside OpenBridge Designer , the user can select the Non-linear Material option at the Non-linear Analysis options inside the Basic Settings Tab of the Analyzer Recalc Window for the consideration of the non-linearities in the modeled structure…
  • 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…
  • Material model-curved relationship between stress and shear strength

    Can a material be modeled in PLAXIS with a predefined curved relationship between stress and shear strength? Mohr-Coulomb and HSS models assume either independent or linear shear strength relative to normal effective stress. Thanks!
  • Modified Cam Clay and Soft Soil Material Parameter Determination

    Hi all, I am using the Modified Cam Clay in my model, and while trying to calibrate the model to the lab test curves, I noticed a possible inconsistency in the definition of the stiffness parameters lambda and kappa. In the material manual of Plaxis…
  • Material properties for the plates in Plaxis 3D

    Hi, I started to learn Plaxis 3D and I have basic doubt in the material assign for the plates. In the plate tab there is only one tab to define the equivalent thickness of the plate, young modulus and shear modulus from their Plaxis automatically calculated…
  • Python V21 Unknown property: E50Ref

    When I set material properties for Hardening Soil Model in Python V21 I receive following Error: Unknown property: E50Ref. I have already checked the Material Property changes for Python scripting for V21 and the property names should be correct. …

    Is it possible to change concrete density to 25 permanently?
  • Material Properties and reinforcement settings in RCDC V 09.04.00.128

    I was using RCDC V 09.04.00.128, then I was about to input the Fy (275) and Concrete property (21) in material properties. However, RCDC is showing an error that the value is not in the permissible range of values . here is a screenshot of it. .. …
  • OBM: Add and Modify the Materials Library List

    Inside OpenBridge Modeler , even though some minor elements could be missing for modeling all details, there are options to add and modify the Materials at the library menu to make your estimates more complete for the tender. At the Main Ribbon Menu…
  • RC-PIER Material Properties tab

    I'm designing a pile cap abutment in RC-PIER, but I'm unsure how to input the material properties. In the material properties tab, there are inputs for concrete cap, concrete footing, and concrete pile. I have a concrete cap on steel H-piles. RC-PIER…
  • "Retain Beam Level Changes"

    QUESTION: How do I keep the beam properties different at beam level than what is in Material tab? ANSWER: In Precast-Prestressed/CONSPAN under Show > Preferences we have an option “Retain Beam Level Changes”. This setting is not file specific, it is…
