Hello, i want to create a pile as a volume element. ive created an interface but im not sure how to simulate the skin and base friction with the interface. Can anyone help me plase? Thank you :)

Hi, I am getting very high excess pore pressures at particular nodes beneath the pile cap, adjacent to the embedded beams as shown below,. This is causing very slow convergence and excess pwp is not changing after particular point. (fig 1 - phase before…

Hello, I am doing PLASXIS 3D analysis for the Deep Mixed (DM) column installed in soft soil under the embankment load. DM columns are made by extruding a cylindrical volume and replacing the soft soil material with the DM column material. The soft soil…

Dear Referring the Plaxis manual and figure 1, we can define the precipitation in the sloped area and by considering the coupled flow-deformation analyses, we can define the deformation on the sloped area and, also, the pressure on the wall of the structure…

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?

Dear Does the Plaxis 3D have the “Parallel GPU solver and computation” to analyze the models, which could be time-consuming, to reduce and save the time of analyzing the models? If yes, where is it located? How could I access that to solve and analyze…

#PREdesign #Firstdesign #not-final-design Hey, I'd like to back to give additional informations about my last question. As i have already said, i'm geologist, student in M2 geosciences for energy at Paris Cergy University. For my master thesis,…

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…

Hi, I want to import a selected territory region from the QGIS into Plaxis , but I have problem. I selected a region and converted it to the CSV file from the QGIS and used the Excel to save it as the txt file and imported the txt file into Plaxis…

Hi I have been looking at a model in Plaxis3D for a shallow footing overturning under an applied shear and moment. When i look at the results for the interface element at the base for normal pressure, it shows the front of the footing in compression…

Hi, I am trying to model the loading of a steel plate placed on a dry sand bed and find the variation of the vertical stress with respect to the depth of the sand bed. I have conducted the same on the laboratory scale using a steel plate and placing…

Hello, I have problem with bending two surfaces. As it can be seen in the screenshot the red surfaces can't be blended and the error message( The tool failed to create a surface between the polycurves .) appears at the bottom. The polycurves have been…

Unable to run Plaxis 3D Model 7610.bugreport.txt

Hello everyone I wonder about the meaning of the Maccel value. I checked the Plaxis 2D reference manual and it says "The value of this parameter is always 0." Why it's always zero and what does it do? Thank you

Hi, I am having some issues in obtaining realistic loads on Volume Elements using the Centerline tool on PLAXIS 3D. I'm modelling a Concrete Secant Pile Wall with Steel profile in the stiffer piles. To simplify the model, I have modelled the piles…

Greetings to whoever reading this, I'm modeling construction of a pre-loading embankment on soft soil, to be improved by pre-loading and PVD's, to get the ultimate consolidation settlement and the time needed for it under the effect of the embankment…

Hello, I am modelling an underground tank which is subjected to buoyancy after construction due to increase in the ground water level. How do I model the buoyant forces that act under the tank model in PLAXIS 3D ?

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 colleagues, I am facing a problem when generating a mesh for a simple steady state dam flux 3D analysis in Plaxis Groundwater. I am using Designer to generate a model volume and then importing it to Groundwater. The model is built with three…

Hello PLAXIS team I am interested to model a diaphragm wall in each both EI1 and EA1 ( vertical) are still 100% of the isotropic case, but EA2 and EI2 are reduced to 20% and 1% respectively. This is based on the Geotechnique paper ( ZDRAVKOVIC et al…

Hello everyone, My name is Juan Esteban and I'm currently doing an internship in geotechnical engineering. As part of my internship, I'm learning to use Plaxis and, at the moment, I'm trying to model a structure composed by several raft foundations…

Dear Guys, First of all I am new to this forum. I never knew such a forum existed. I am modelling a steel supported braced excavations (struts). In the project the diagonal struts in the corners are 20 metres long while the horizontal (located at…

hello, good day. I have a wetmuck project in an underground mine. I want to analyze, model, and simulate underground mining works. such as blasting with real contours and the correct data is there to overcome the wetmuck which is very dangerous for…

We are using Plaxis to assess the settlement of an embankment on firm to stiff clay soils in which the long term settlement is critical for an acceptable design. We are adopting the Hardening Soil Model with Small Strain Soil Model and are a bit confused…
