Reference point for rigid body in PLAXIS 3D
Hi, I have an annulus modelled as a rigid body that is resting on the surface of the ground. Is it correct to set the geometric centre of the annulus as the reference point (in this case, the geometric centre of the annulus is not on the rigid body itself…
Quick question: how to account for self-weight when using rigid bodies?
The question does indeed come in the title: can we account for self-weight when using a rigid body even if we deactivate the soil cluster in the 'Staged Construction' ? Best regards,

How can I extract results from rigid body over all calculation phases?
Hi,
how can I efficiently extract results from the Rigid Body over all calculation stages?
I currently have to click 'project' and 'results rigid body' for each and every phase, which is time consuming.
Thanks!

Laterally loaded Pile
I am a very new user of Plaxis 3D. I am trying to model a laterally loaded pile. In the Plaxis Tutorial manual there is an example of loading of a suction pile in which the pile is modelled as a rigid body but no material or thickness of pile is assigned…
