Hi all, 01. What is the purpose of converting input parameters to equivalent properties in Plaxis 3D and how it goings to influence in the result? 02. Please explain about the axial force calculation based on the following page in reference manual…

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…

Hi, I started to learn Plaxis 3D and I have basic doubt in the material assign for the plates. In the plate tab there is only one tab to define the equivalent thickness of the plate, young modulus and shear modulus from their Plaxis automatically calculated…

Hello, Is it possible to create a model and vary the soil parameters with respect to time. I want to create a shallow pile foundation model and vary the soil parameters with respect to time to simulate wet-dry cycles. The aim is to capture the varying…

Is there any update in PLAXIS latest versions which can help in extraction of py curves from tubular steel pile modelled using PLATE element.

Hello, I'm modeling a cylinder that can be filled with water (as a ballast), The cylinder is modeled using plate elements. How the buoyancy effect is taken into account in Plaxis 3D? Should I put dry steel weight for plate elements, then the buoyancy…

Hi all, I am using an elastoplastic plate (in plaxis 3D) and trying to control the axial and flexural capacity of the plate such that it approximates the behavior of a slurry wall. In the horizontal direction, due to the slurry wall joints, the flexural…

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…

I have modeled my monopile foundation for offshore wind turbine. The pile is modeled as volume pile using plate element and it is subjected to the horizontal load at the top. I want to get corresponding response of bending moment and shear force which…

I am trying to save and export plot of different forces and displacement for a plate. Should I use this function Structuralforcesplot? or am I mistaken? Which function should I use to generate contour plots of a pile cap modelled using a plate?

Hi I modelled a circular shaft in Plaxis 3D using Mohr Coulomb solid elements since the shaft is to be an unreinforced slurry wall (hence it would not have a decent tensile capacity). I am looking for a way to extract moments and axial stresses equivalent…

Hello, I am modeling a small scale uplift test which was conducted on a circular plate embedded inside a sand bed. The circular plate was of diameter 75 mm and depth of the embedment was 750 mm. The same was modeled in PLAXIS 3D using plate element…

Dear All, Im facing a problem about assigning the parameter of pipe pile wall with strengthening H-pile and Plate in my Plaxis 3D (Plate element) Section is shown as below: the spacing is 800mm centre to centre and bending in strong axis. How…

Here raft is modelled as a volume element and piles as embedded pile element, and a negative interface is given between raft and soli. Please kindly help as the results are coming same for the pile head connection condition.

Hi all, I used Tunnel designer for simulating piping in soil. Instead of segment or lining, here we have pipe (steel, concrete, ...). Is it necessary to consider thickness for pipe material (plate) in Tunnel designer? Thank u so much.

for the output of a plate element unit, I understand in Plaxis 2D, output unit is kN*m/m, that is in/out of plane issue. In plaxis 3D, i have a piled protection slab for gas main, the output unit of plate element is still kN*m/m, how do I interpret…
