I am doing a NATM Tunnel Analysis in Plaxis 3D, but when everything is finished and the calculations are given, it shows a problem in phase 01 like this. (Soil body seems to collapse. Please inspect Output results. [Error code: 101] ) What is the reason…

Dear Sir How to put internal pressure inside a pipe. If we are going with that tunnel one then two circular vertical surfaces are created at the two ends of pipes which looks like pipe is closed. So how to remove those to circular vertical surfaces…

Dear Community, I am working on the dseign of monopiles under cyclic load. The most important thing for that to cater is strength and stiffness degradation. In the link below I attached there is a discussion regarding constitutive model i.e. UDCAM…

Hello Everyone. I am working on a design of monopiles under cyclic loading condition. I am using UDCAM-S model. It is clearly mentioned that this model can be used in offshore structures that experience storm loadings. I am aware that using this…

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…

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…

Hi, I'm making a base for a lattice mast in Plaxis 3D. The foundation takes the loads from the mast at four points. What is the best way to make bending moments Mx, My, Mz at all points?

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, I am trying to evaluate the slope reinforced by a row of piles under dynamic conditions (earthquake data). I want to obtain maximum lateral displacement v/s dynamic time under lateral loading condition. So what should be the boundary condition of…

Hi All, Is it possible to model open ended steel sigma "Σ" pile sections or PFC sections in Plaxis 3D?

Hi all, Can anyone share some screenshots showing the soil arching effect in the retaining system or embankment pile support in Plaxis 2D for study purpose? I did a sample model but couldn't get that effect. Plaxis 3D ==> From…

Dear all, I am in the process of doing an analysis of the stability during installation of an offshore monopile in PLAXIS 3D. For this analysis, I am using the HSsmall model for the sand layers. For this analysis, I have the following setup: - A monopile…

Hello Plaxis Community, I am currently making a 3D model for a 7 story building on one basement level founded in soft clays. My project is surrounded by sheet piles driven into the clay to retain the water table which circulates in the sands…

Hello, So i'm having fun with PLAXIS 3D, I have this structure which is a 3D rectangle made of steel. I got a load resultant with Vertical, Horizontal, and Moments at the geometric center located at the base z=0, point B. Point B is located at…

Hello everyone, My first question here in the forum! I'm modeling a set of foundations on weathered granite and I'm using the Hoek-Brown (HB) model. Everything in the material model works perfectly fine, however, three questions regarding the material…

Hi everyone, Is there a shortcut to see the total load carried by the piles in a piled raft foundation on Plaxis 3D? Thanks,

Hello everyone, I'm trying to simulate the installation of shaft sinking by adopted procedure from kinematic mechanical model, but I'm struggle with the skin friction at the wall of shaft. Can I assign the value of skin friction directly in the surface…

I have modelled Deep Mix Column under embankment loading. In this modelling, I have made a negative interface around the DM column and assigned property custom [ DM Col-MC model_Drained_E_v_c_phi-r inter-0.69]. When I hit calculate button in stage…

Hello. I am new to PLAXIS 3d V21. I have been learning PLAXIS 3D V20 which seemed to be much simpler than the current V21. I wanted to design a shallow footing setting on the ground surface. I want to measure the bearing capacity of the ground and…

Dear sir, I have a query in plaxis 2d. 1. Why should we assign interfaces ( Positive and Negative) to the plate element in plaxis 2d? 2. What is purpose of assigning the interface? 3.But in Plaxis 3d, we will not assigning any interfaces to the…

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

Hi, PLAXIS team, I'm struggling to understand what the upper limit for material stiffness, i.e. E50 in Hardening Soil Model is? I am exploring different material models for a very low to low strength Siltstone (UCS = 1MPa, E50 = 300MPa) and I was thinking…

Dear PLAXIS Team, i need to perform some calculations considering the thermal flow within PLAXIS 3D. According to the PLAXIS 3D Manual, this should be possible with at least an ADV licence. Unfortunately i cannot find any options to use these features…

Hey, I am using the Plaxis 3D tutorial on suction pile as a base for my project where I am analysing the pullout capacity. After calculations, how do I get the load-displacement curves? knowing that we did not add the load directly to the pile but…
