    Hello, Please, i'm BELOUAD Rabah, student in M2 Geosciences of energy at Paris Cergy University. I'd like use Plaxis to design the anchor pile of floating windfarm for my master thesis but i didn't use it before, if someone could help me in this…

  • Meshing Issue - Overlap of mesh at interfaces on mesh view.

    When refining my mesh after checking it is clear of any issues with geometry and selecting "View Mesh" I get this: An overlap between the interface and plate section - this area of the mesh looks incorrect and as if it is folding on itself. Interestingly…

  • Reclamation Works and Quay Construction

    Hi, I have an issue with a PLAXIS 2D model I have been working on. This model looks at the various stages of quay wall construction for a virgin site with fill behind the retaining wall. My fill behind the wall appears to be failing in wedge failure…

  • Assigning material parameter to a group of elements without using geometric boundary

    Hi Everyone, Does anyone know a way to group some elements (without using geometric boundary) and assign a parameter to it? The goal is to just assign the parameter if the elements located inside a set of coordinates while keeping the uniformity…

  • PLAXIS 3D Meshing Fails

    Generally we have problem with the meshing module in PLAXIS 3D. The only time that we get a successful meshing of the program is where the project is made of horizontal/vertical lines/surfaces. Otherwise, majority of inclined/curved/irregular surfaces…

  • PARTIAL PLATE PRESSURE LOAD

    Hi, I have already meshed the plate, but as you can see in the image below, the surface of the partial plate pressure load that I want to apply (within the four points) does not match the meshing of the plate. Is it possible to apply this pressure load…

  • "Warning: small embedded beam elements generated" messages in considerable long embedded beam piles

    Hello PLAXIS team, I currently using PLAXIS 3D V20 to work on a complex model that I created using 3D 2017 in the past and every time I mesh the model I get a bunch of warning message saying that I have small embedded beam elements generated This…

  • Mesh Improving

    Hi, Can anyone give us some advice/tips to improve quality meshing for low angle interception surfaces. We have tried local refinements but even size elements got smaller mesh quality is not improving... thanks in advance. Here you have some images…

  • Rigid Support Zones in RAM Concept

    In RAM Concept, columns are idealized as point support objects, which means that column elements are assumed to support slab elements at a single point in the finite element model. Similarly, walls are idealized as line support object, which means that…
