Dear all, When a circular lining is modeled using a solid element, whether the bending moment and axial force of the lining can only be obtained by establishing a virtual plate. Can you add a function to extract the bending moment of the solid element…

Good Morning Sir, I am modelling my concrete using volume element in PLAXIS 3D. It is easier to get shear force and bending moment through this modelling. We can get the bending moment and shear force along the length of pile using cross section curve…

Hello, I've modeled a square footing with a huge point load at its center (100,000 kN) on Dense Sand in order to assess the bearing capacity of soil by locating the shear failure point from the Load-displacement curve. Mstage vs IuI for the loading…

Hello, I need to use the Plaxis script to get the result but I have this error (No module plxscripting) in the script! I did below steps: 1- Activated remote scripting server 2- Started SciTE editor 3- Included boilerplate below: from plxscripting. easy…

Hello, is there a way to automatically shut down the PC after the batch file run is over (calculate, save and __kill)? It would be better to let the computer rest after running several models overnight without having to check on it. Thank you!

Hi. I have a modelling problem for moving load analysis of road embankment on soft clay. The model is 57.5m long and 20m wide. I need to simulate a set of moving loads (all four moving loads) with a constant speed of 20m/s that will pass by a nearby…

Hello! In Plaxis 3D is possible to model a pinned connection between two plates (red line in capture below)?

Hello, I modeled a pile using plates elements with custom propreties. what i want to know is : 1- is it possible to get the geometry of the pile (diameter, length) or we can get only coordinates and do the calculations from there 2- is it possible to…

Hello, I'm assembling a 3D dynamic analysis that incorporates part of the bedrock due to the irregular profile of this stratum. Because of the size of the model, I have small elements for the soil layer and bigger elements for the bedrock (of the order…

Hello guys Could you help me, please I have 02 questions: 1) How do you get the full signal from the load applied over 1 second, knowing that it depends on the frequency each time you change it? 2) Does the load signal given by Plaxis allow me to…

Hi everyone, for a study project I wanted to plot stress points along with the failure criterion I used in Plaxis. Therefore I plotted the points in a sig1-sig3 plane and used the formula from the materials manual to plot the criterion: def hoek_brown…

Dear sir, I have watched this webinar 3D Modelling of Train-Induced Moving Loads on an Embankment. I have already writen email to the webinar presenter RAJENDRA BISHT regarding the geometry coordinate or Autocad file. Because I want to remodel it…

How to create a soil-polygon model in plaxis 3D ? (In plaxis 2D there is an option in structure for creating soil polygon, but in plaxis3D there is no such option.)

We used tutorial-7 in Plaxis 3D to model the tunneling. We cut the section in the y-direction to create the Figure (attached). How can we prevent the initial settlement in the tunneling model? Thank You in Advance

Hi, I want to evaluate the stress on subgrade soil induced by the curling of concrete pavement resulting from temperature variations. Does the Plaxis have the option to evaluate the deflection of concrete due to temperature variation? Thanks in advan…

I am extracting load displacement curve considering every step. But right now I am considering node corresponding to the soil. Similarly, I want to plot the curve between two axes which will be having displacement of node on x axis and corresponding…

Hi, I am trying to model the dowels between the structural plates of central wall in a tunnel as embedded beam. The plates are vertically standing with no contact with the soil. Is this a correct modelling approach to move forward with. I understand…

Hi all: I have a problem with the model, can someone please help me? Thank you. I use PLAXIS 3D to create version elements to simulate continuous walls and buttresses (as shown in Figure 1). When I select buttresses and continuous walls for "intersect…

Hello, while checking the models by our Design consultant of the tunnel, I am unable to locate grouting loads in it. He has provided a separate analysis in STAAD model for it. The same has been done in other projects also. Can you tell me how to define…

Hi, I would like to determine the bearing capacity of mat foundation in PLAXIS 3D. I have tried two methods, one where I applied a surface displacement along the z axis (free along the x and y axis), the other where I applied a prescribed surface load…

Hi, is it possible to calculate a basically loss of stability as overturning, sliding and bearing failure of the foundation in Plaxis 3D?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! Is there a way to get the rotation of triangles of a mesh (single mesh element)? I have dummy plates with low stiffness to evaluate the deformation of shallow foundations (slab) from different buildings above a NAT-Tunnel…

This should hopefully be a pretty self explanatory post. What would be the best desktop setup to run PLAXIS 3D as fast as possible without being wasteful? Currently I'm thinking: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12 Cores (my understanding is PLAXIS 3D can't really…

I would like to control my Plaxis model via external software. For that, I want to assign a new value for the cohesion cRef to a soil zone and this is composed of a calculated value plus the value of another soil material. Basically, I am looking for…
