Hello All, I am trying to model a footing as a plate element in PLAXIS 2D. I have attached the figure I intend to work as follows. I have two queries regarding to model is in PLAXIS. My actual foundation depth is 1.5m and the footing slab…

Hello I can do groundwater analysis in PLAXIS LE API?

Hi Dears, I am trying to do comparison between my hand calculation and Plaxis 2d. I face a problem in how to embedded a shallow foundation (i.e. circular footing) in soil. This is what I found everyone calculating it in Plaxis However, I want…

Hello, I have a question about the plate properties in PLAXIS. In 2D, there is a specific input as "unit weight (w)" and in 3D, there is another specific unit weight as " unit weight (gamma)". I know how to get the unit weight for PLAXIS 3D but for…

Hi all, I'm trying to deep excavation in Plaxis2D. But in some phases I get error code:101 warning. This collapse does not happen when I go down to the excavation base level, but when I define the foundation slab (node-to-node anchor) located at the…

Dear Soilvision Forum, I'm currently working on my diploma thesis and I'm modelling compensation grouting above a NATM tunnel. The tunnel is only a part of the thesis to cause settlements for the compensation grouting. After a preheaving phase the…

Hello, I can´t visualize any axis or geometry on PLAXIS LE 2D slope stability. Already re-installed and change the version of PLAXIS LE 21.00.00.95 to V 21.05.00.043. The windows view is always blank, but when I use the command “print to PDF” I can…

Hi guys, Getting a failure when trying to save *any* of my projects, even when opening and immediately trying to save over old, completed projects. I've tried moving the project file and folder to new, "shorter" locations, removing the data.convd…

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…

I've a wall in tension that should be in compression. As shown in the screenshot below I've a symmetric model where the excavation is conducted in 2 steps, removing half of the bench on the left & installing the wall then excavating the right half &…

Hi, I am having difficulties modelling the seepage in an earth dam enhanced with a cut off wall using Plaxis 2D. The cut off wall is made of plastic concrete and was introduced later as part of a maintenance procedure in order to prevent any potential…

I have a problem with "Plaxis 3D output V20" Line Cross Section results as you can see in the picture attached, the Maximum effective stress differs from either table or graph, and there is a huge gap between them. I'm so confused right now and I…

Hello everyone I implemented a unified dynamic soil model, but PLAXIS doesn't calculate any strains, and it prints zero (or some times NaN amounts) into a text file. this problem also causes it doesn't draw any plots in soil test section. I'd like to…

Greetings to the forum members. I have two questions to ask. 1. I was trying to simulate the undrained loading and consolidation process of a circular skirted foundation and compare the results with previous research. Interaction between the foundation…

Hello, I am having issues with my PLAXIS 3D project of a bridge, the original file runs with no issues. However, I have modified the height of the bearing by increasing the bearing height (pink volume) and reducing the height of the pier, without adjusting…

Hello, while writing my master thesis I was wondering about the equation [145] of the Material Models Manual of PLAXIS, which says that the sum of the axial strain follows by the negative elastic axial strain minus the plastic axial strain given in…

Hi all, Why file option is not working? Thanks.

Hello everyone In the Cross Section Curve there is an option in the settings to change the axis scaling manually. When I change the scaling to a lower number as the automatically filled in number, the change works well. But I want to change the scaling…

How can I draw a line between two points in the already existing model in Plaxis 3D without having to enter the coordinates of the end-points? Is there a possibility to "catch" the already existing points to draw the line or implenent a pointload a lot…

How can I change the Groundwater level after a few Phases in Plaxis 3D? I defined the groundwater level with the head in the borehole at the beginning of the model. How can I change it in the construction stages? Probably I have to install a well…

I want to model hinges at the end of a beam which is connected to several other beams. How can I do that in Plaxis 3D? Thanks for your help!
