Hi, I'm trying to select a point to retrieve output data from a plate. I've tried different alternatives, but always keep selecting the node in the adjacent soil: If I do it manually via the output interface the node I'm trying to select exist.…

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…

I am very new to plaxis and i am trying to understand modeling a retaining wall (from my understanding this is done using a plate element), i have a general idea of the steps but the values to input are giving me some trouble. I want to model steel sheet…

Hi all, I have a problem that I'm trying to model in PLAXIS 2D and I'm a little uncertain about how to model the pile cap beam. Below is the geometry of the problem. For the batter piles, I'm modelling them as embedded beam rows. I would like to…

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…

Hi all! I am wandering that PLAXIS 2d is able to do the plate loading test for shallow foundation or not? Lack some literatures for this. I want to know how to do the loading test by adding some loads to the foundation and how to find the ultimate bearing…

Hi Dears, I have tried many way to excavate or add a plate at a certain depth in plaxis to simulate the embedement depth, but none of them gave a reasonable answer. Is there any one can help of how to embedded a foting in Plaxis 2d? I could not…

I am trying to set properties for a plate material via Python. It initially seems to work and the command goes through to PLAXIS like this: Python: soe_mat = g_i.platemat("MaterialName","SOE_Wall","IsIsotropic",True,"EA",435000000,"EI", model['wall_EI…

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, 01. When defining a vertical wall in Plaxis, use prevent punching option if is not a thin structure to take into account of end bearing. It the plate is defined as a horizontal (along the x-axis) and applies vertical and horizontal loading,…

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…

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…

Hello Everyone! Does anybody know if its possible to view the plate forces (Bending Moment/Shear/Axial) for a chosen timestep in a dynamic analysis? At the moment I am only able to view these forces at the final step (Step 222, Time = 0.175s) of the…

I used anchor to define 12mm tie rods at 3m and 6m depth along the sheet pile. For calculating EA, I considered E = 2E8 KN/m2 and A = 0.000113 m2. Therefore EA = 22600 KN/m3. Is it the right approach top assign tie road also I am getting more displacement…

I was wondering what is the meaning of Element axis in PLAXIS 2D. The subject statement was in the Manual. So my question comes from a tunnel evaluation. For my tunnel, forces are generated. 1) The hoop stress is in out of plane direction. So which…

Goodmorning, I'm Luca and I'm trying to create a function called " Diaphragm" (it is an example) , where the variable of the function are: 1) the name of the plate 2) the thickness of the element 3) the elastic modulus of the element 4) specific…
