Hello, I have a question about the plate properties in PLAXIS. In 2D, there is a specific input as "unit weight (w)" and in 3D, there is another specific unit weight as " unit weight (gamma)". I know how to get the unit weight for PLAXIS 3D but for…

I have modeled my monopile foundation for offshore wind turbine. The pile is modeled as volume pile using plate element and it is subjected to the horizontal load at the top. I want to get corresponding response of bending moment and shear force which…

Hi all, I want to know if it is possible to have a plate overhang my beams. The overhang will be 0.3m in the Z direction on both sides. I have tried everything I can think of but I cannot illustrate the plate accurately. When I try to mesh one large…

Hello, I would like to model the same stack shown in fig and check it for wind and seismic loadings. Can you please guide me through step by step procedure to do so? Ravikant

I am trying to save and export plot of different forces and displacement for a plate. Should I use this function Structuralforcesplot? or am I mistaken? Which function should I use to generate contour plots of a pile cap modelled using a plate?

Hi I modelled a circular shaft in Plaxis 3D using Mohr Coulomb solid elements since the shaft is to be an unreinforced slurry wall (hence it would not have a decent tensile capacity). I am looking for a way to extract moments and axial stresses equivalent…

Hi all, 01. When defining a vertical wall in Plaxis, use prevent punching option if is not a thin structure to take into account of end bearing. It the plate is defined as a horizontal (along the x-axis) and applies vertical and horizontal loading,…

Hi! I've encountered a problem trying to model a double liner approach with two soil elements as liners. It could be a problem with meshing, which would lead me to using the plate+soil element instead. In addition I'm modelling a permanent jet grouted…

Hi All, I was hoping someone can help me. I am trying to perform a Finite Element Analysis of a Plate with a load on 100KN but the subject error stops the analysis. I have searched but coudn't find the solution. Can anybody guide me please how to…

Dear all, I would like to ask you: 1) I was checking the Plaxis3D Structural Verification for Plates and Shells (Plates: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45502/bending-of-plates Shells: https://communities…

Hello I came across problem during copying of plates. Regrdless of tool used (copy command form microstation and/or prostructures) some small value is added to copied plate: I try to change values in unit options but it has no effect. Any…

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…

Hello Everyone! Does anybody know if its possible to view the plate forces (Bending Moment/Shear/Axial) for a chosen timestep in a dynamic analysis? At the moment I am only able to view these forces at the final step (Step 222, Time = 0.175s) of the…

I used anchor to define 12mm tie rods at 3m and 6m depth along the sheet pile. For calculating EA, I considered E = 2E8 KN/m2 and A = 0.000113 m2. Therefore EA = 22600 KN/m3. Is it the right approach top assign tie road also I am getting more displacement…

Hello, I am modeling a small scale uplift test which was conducted on a circular plate embedded inside a sand bed. The circular plate was of diameter 75 mm and depth of the embedment was 750 mm. The same was modeled in PLAXIS 3D using plate element…

Dear All, Im facing a problem about assigning the parameter of pipe pile wall with strengthening H-pile and Plate in my Plaxis 3D (Plate element) Section is shown as below: the spacing is 800mm centre to centre and bending in strong axis. How…

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…

Here raft is modelled as a volume element and piles as embedded pile element, and a negative interface is given between raft and soli. Please kindly help as the results are coming same for the pile head connection condition.

Hello, Is there a way to apply a linear distributed load directly on a plate without having to create a beam with physical properties for the load to be applied? For example, along the distance of 9,701m shown in the image below. Thanks in advance…

Hello, Could any of the members advice how you can model settlements in slab-on-grade within STAAD ? Thanks, Shivam

Hi all, I used Tunnel designer for simulating piping in soil. Instead of segment or lining, here we have pipe (steel, concrete, ...). Is it necessary to consider thickness for pipe material (plate) in Tunnel designer? Thank u so much.

I was wondering what is the meaning of Element axis in PLAXIS 2D. The subject statement was in the Manual. So my question comes from a tunnel evaluation. For my tunnel, forces are generated. 1) The hoop stress is in out of plane direction. So which…
