Hi everyone, When calculating the average element size, Kuhlmeyer & Lysmer (1973) suggested to assume a size of element not larger than λ/8, where λ is the wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency f of interest. Therefore, Average element size…

When refining my mesh after checking it is clear of any issues with geometry and selecting "View Mesh" I get this: An overlap between the interface and plate section - this area of the mesh looks incorrect and as if it is folding on itself. Interestingly…

Hi! I've encountered a problem trying to model a double liner approach with two soil elements as liners. It could be a problem with meshing, which would lead me to using the plate+soil element instead. In addition I'm modelling a permanent jet grouted…

Hi all. I have created a 2Dplaxis model through python remote scripting, including exporting displacement and mesh plots per phase. I want to export the connectivity plot, the one you get when you first click "View Mesh" which shows the mesh and all…

Hi, My deep excavation model is not converged after large swell occurs at the excavation bottom due to high pwp in the soil beneath the excavation. When choosing the default value 0.01 as tolerated error, the deflection is still pretty small when…

Dear Support Team , We have convenient command for reset all local coarseness in Mesh mode: resetlocal geometry For PLAXIS 2D it works only for polygons, not for boundary lines (inner lines and lines on the boundaries). I was sure that command resetlocal…

Since there is no information on this error, I think it would be nice to keep it on the internet: "Meshing failed with the following error: Mesh output file not found" error is really bothering. The reason of this error is unknown to me, so the answer…

Dimensions of all meshes in this study are considered to be equal to 1 m × 1 m. How Can I use this information did use re=1 or Le=1 ?
