Hi Plaxis Forum I have a model of a shield tunnel in plaxis3d. The model is run to an Mstage=0,8 for the excavation of the tunnel (Phase 1); in the following phase, a concrete lining is activated and the model run to Mstage=1 (Phase 2). My question…

What are custom interface materials usually used for? Can it be used to simulate pile-slurry interaction?

Hello, I am running a dynamic analysis model in Plaxis to find a vertical displacement of the pipeline in liquefiable soil, but it takes one day and is still running in 11.21 seconds. Is it normal for this kind of analysis in Plaxis? If so, anyone could…

I want to establish a circular retaining structure with a buried depth of 1.5m, so in phase 1, I deactivated the soil with a diameter of 10m and activated the circular retaining structure. I can understand the uplift of the soil inside the enclosure structure…

Hi guys, I'm trying to open the scripting reference or python interpreter in Plaxis (both 2D and 3D). But I got error message and then my plaxis would just show . Any one could figure out what is it? I've used python scripting before with plaxis…

Hi, I developed a code below to retrieve data (Shear_strain_xy & Shear_stress_xy) from the DSS test of the Soiltest module in Plaxis 2D Ultimate (academic version). This code was already working, but after upgrading to the latest version of Plaxis …

Hello, I modeled a tunnel of 2.5 m in the soil layer. In the calculation result at the lining stage voids are created around the pipe. How can I remove these voids? what is the reason behind this phenomenon? Many thanks for your help.

Hi, I wanted to know how to specify a known temperature profile with depth at the initial condition. To clarify, let's say I know the temperature at various points in the soil varies with depth obtained from a different analysis. I need to input that…

Hi all, Let's say the soil is cut vertically and then provide any support after some days (not immediately). Are any ways to check in Plaxis how many days the soil can be vertical before failure (with the influence of soil arching etc) => no any consolidation…

Good morning. How could I extract the time-displacement curves in plaxis, using python, for the case of dynamic analysis. Has anyone tried this before? I have not found information in the script manual about data extraction in the case of dynamic analysis…

Hello， If in phase 1, there are two layers of soil in the model, but in phase 2, I need to replace the material of the upper soil with concrete, and at the same time, at this stage, I do not want this layer of concrete to cause any pressure on the lower…
