Dynamic computation and analysis
Hello. I ask you to look at my computation for seismic 9 points. I think I'm doing something wrong. Because the results of velocities and acceleration are too small for seismic 9 points.
Thermal cyclic loads
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…
dynamic analysis of an earth dam
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…

How to shorten calculation time for dynamic analysis
Hi,
I am running dynamic slope stability analyses and each analysis is taking around 10 hours. Is there a way to reduce the calculation time. The calculation screen shows that only 1 of 8 CPU cores are used for calculation. Is there a way to dedicate…
