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…

Generally speaking, after the tail of the shield machine is completely passed, there will be continuous consolidation settlement on the surface, that is, the settlement value at the same point will gradually increase. However, in the case tutorial, I…

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…

Am trying to model the effect of thermal loading on the backfill behind integral abutment by using Plaxis 2D. I modelled the concrete bridge deck as Linear Plate element and provide a prescribed displacement near the top of the abutment. The applied displacement…

Hi, how can I use the Python API to model tunnels? I'm already going crazy! If I use the process of Tunnel Designer to code and model, the code will terminate when assigning material to the tunnel plate unit, and the error is' The plate unit does not…

Hi All, I am working on the analysis job for an excavation work? So far I have proceeded to the completion of excavation that has been temporarily supported by struts? I am about to activate the ground floor level slab and deactivate the struts…

Hi, im doing a dynamic analysis of an earth dam and I am a little confused of the boundary conditions I need to use because as you can see in the figure my model is moving like a rigid solid. I create a Line Displacement in the bottom with my Displacement…

After the model is picked in a manager, the corresponding module doesn't start. I can check that the installation of program and dependencies went well. Is it an usual issue and is there a fix before I reinstall operating system. I can't really be…

Hi all, I was modelling the volume expansion (due to temperature change) by inputting the volume strain of material directly. But when I consider the tunnel, I cannot input the volume strain value to the lining ( plate material), so it shows the wrong…

I am using the precipitation function to model rainwater infiltration on a slope in PLAXIS. When inputting the q value, do I need to multiply the rainfall (q) with the runoff coefficient (c) first?

Hello Everyone, I know in PLAXIS , when we do an earthquake analysis we define interface boundaries along the side and bottom boundaries . IF I do the same in PLAXIS #D, should I do the same, Please advise. Thanks , Faisal

Hello All, I have a question about the hardening soil model. In PLAXIS we have HS and HSsmall for modeling soil behavior. In HSsmall, there is a parameter gamaa_07 to incorporate dynamic behavior which is not included in HS. Also, in the materials…

Hello mr & mrs. I want to ask about how to find out the distribution of earth stress due to embankment load on Plaxis 2D? I am planning to install a PVD, where the regulations in my country recommend that the PVD must be installed at a depth of soil that…

#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…

Hello Will you share the script in the webinar ? communities.bentley.com/.../coffee-corner-geotechnical-analysis---more-efficient-plaxis-usage-with-python-api---am-and-pm-sessions-available Can we download and use it? Thank you

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 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

Hello, I am attempting to model a plate subject to an upward imposed displacement in a soil mass with two soil layers (see figure below). I activated the plate, the displacement and both soil polygons and then started the calculation. This resulted…

Hello, My project is about construction of an embankment on subgrade reinforced by stone columns covered with geosynthetic...so i need to know what's the phases of calculation required...is it the same of the stone columns without geosynthetic? Or should…

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…

Hi all, I have some questions in these types. 01. Only consolidation analysis is possible after the undrained analysis in A and if it is B then manual said Su is needed to update. Please explain this statement. 02. Based on undrained A…

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…
