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…

Is it possible to get run at the same time two lincenses of Plaxis3D with the same computer? or you need a computer for each lincense to run at the same time? Thank you !

Dear All I have modeled piled raft foundation which piles modeled as volume pile while raft modeled as plate element. To simulate soil - structure interaction, I created interface to both raft and piles. In my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong…

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?

Good morning. I have seen some people model a soil nailing problem using embedded beam with pile behavior and others with rock bolt behavior. In which cases should a soil nailing problem be modeled considering a pile behavior for embedded beams?

To perform a relibility based analysis of a 3D slope model, I have created a 3D FE-Model in Plaxis 3D and in the next step I would like to couple this with an external software that changes the soil parameters and starts the safty analysis in Plaxis.…

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…

Hello, I am working on a simulation job for a excavation project. There is only one basement level, Bulk excavtion level is only about 3.2m below ground surface level, except that a local deeper excavation is conducted to accomodate the lift pit and…

Every time I am running the software this is showing. how to solve this issue ?

Hi ! I would like to ask, if I model a temporary deep excavation using plate elements with one row of temporary steel strut's with cap, should I increase the moment of inertia of the cap according to parallel axis theorem (Steiner)? Standard…

Which of the above analyses is better for finding the variation of excess pore pressure with radial distance from a line drain?

i am analysing the soil for moving load in plaxis 3d. each time after analysis load moves on the soil, but the movement is not that smooth and load seems like punching the soil.even on changing the soil properties this problem continues. also how to…
