When performing safety analysis on Plaxis the following behavior is happening:

The SRF reaches a peak and then drop. After that, there is a continuous raising until the line stabilize. This indicates an error in the model or is a possible outcome?

Thank you Modestas what about the values of saturated soil, which formula is used to obtain that pressure value?
Thank you, maybe this can be easy for me now, because i don't know how to use script.
How can I link Task 3 so that it starts at the same time as Task 1, but also for the end date of Task 3 to be linked with the end date of Task 2.

I want the duration to be updated automatically when rescheduling.
Many thanks.
Hello Simon,
You can make Task 3 a Long Hammock type with links to other Tasks as shown below -


Hi, I'm trying to automatically read out simulation results from Plaxis. For this I have oriented myself to the following how-to (LINK). However, the evaluation takes a very long time, because each step is queried individually. If the whole process...

I have the same issue. I'd like to know if, after this time, exists a quickly way to save the Reached values step by step. The iterative way is not an option, it takes an hour to save a just 1000-elements array!

Hi Stefanos,
Is there an update on this? I have automized my workflow to run an optimization study, which needs to run many simulations. Alas, this .Reached method is taking almost the same time as an actual simulation run.
Thank you,

I am getting an error on my WaterCAD model stating "PSV Cannot Supply Pressure and Caused ill-conditioning" even though there is no error in my model when I validate it. Does anyone have a solution to this or a reason for this error to occue? I can't...

Try setting the status of the PSV to Inactive and compute the model. That would give you an idea of the pressure you are seeing around there to make certain that the data you are entering makes sense for the system. Also, check the orientation...

Hi Bernardo,
One of the possible way to check the peak and drop in the curve is by plotting the step vs Msf Plot in the output and you can see at which step exactly you are getting the deviation. Based on that you can select the particular phase and check...
