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…

Hi, by displaying the principal stresses of a line cross section in the middle of a cut off wall an irregular peak of stress keeps showing. The Plaxis Reference suggests adding interfaces to solve the problem of stress oscilations at the corners of…

Referring to the question and answer about Rinter ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/plaxis-soilvision-forum/212033/rinter-value ) We typically do not recommend parameter values as this should be based on data collected…

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…

Hi , I am trying to export the geometry to DXF but keep getting a error "Bad profile vertices definition" . I am just wondering if anybody knows how to fix this . Thanks Ardy

HI 1) AM NEW TO PLAXIS, PLAXIS MODEL TAKES A 10 MINUTES AVERAGE TIME TO COMPLETE ANALYSIS, IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITES TO INCREASE SPEED OF ANALYSIS PDF I HAVE ATTACHED MY SCREENSHOT, PLEASE CLARIFY

Hi, I made attempts to submit some technical questions to the Plaxis support, and it directed me to the Bentley Connect Centre-Service Request Manager, where I was confused that I do not know what product category Plaxis belongs to. Anyways I filled…

If I want to delete the second points of the selected line, the command line would be: del line_1.second If I want to apply the same command to a list of lines, how is it possible? would it be something like this? group_1 is a list of lines. map…

Hello everybody, I am trying to reproduce oedometer and triaxial test with Plaxis 2D, and when I select mm units, the strains results are not accurate; for instance, a 25 mm tall specimen subjected to loads up to 800 kPa shows a maximum vertical strain…

Hi, I am wondering how it would be possible to analyse stress/strain relaxation in the CRS soil-test-facility in PLAXIS 3D? I am currently using the Soft soil creep model and used the optimise parameter function to match with the lab data. However…

Permanent bored piles are used as retaining wall and permanent foundation in my ELS design. I want to consider the "at rest / long term condition" of the soil after the ELS work is completed (i.e. K0 condition in my final stage of the model), may I…

I am modeling tailing dams in plaxis and i need to obtain the CRR or CSR value to plot it versus the N1,60 value and generate the CRR or CSR V/S N1,60 value. Thanks and regards to all

Dear Sirs, Please advise on how to get the convertor tool from 2D to 3D. I submitted the online request with the link which took me to the sales page. https://www.plaxis.com/news/software-update/release-plaxis-2d-3d-converter/ Regards, …

Hi, I have received a *.p2dx-file and the associated *.p2dxdat-folder. When I try to open it in PLAXIS 2D 2019 I get the following error: 01. (E) The project file is not compatible with this application version. Possibly it was created with a newer…
