Hello, I am running a dynamic analysis model in Plaxis to find a vertical displacement of the pipeline in liquefiable soil, but it takes one day and is still running in 11.21 seconds. Is it normal for this kind of analysis in Plaxis? If so, anyone could…

Hello, I modeled a tunnel of 2.5 m in the soil layer. In the calculation result at the lining stage voids are created around the pipe. How can I remove these voids? what is the reason behind this phenomenon? Many thanks for your help.

I am modelling a TBM-bored tunnel in Plaxis 2D, and in order to obtain a more percise stress field in the segmental lining in the zones of contact between segments, I have decided to model the tunnel lining as "soil" elements with the corresponding material…

Hi all, I was modelling the volume expansion (due to temperature change) by inputting the volume strain of material directly. But when I consider the tunnel, I cannot input the volume strain value to the lining ( plate material), so it shows the wrong…

Dear Stefanos and Team, I am using Plaxis 2D V21. I am currently trying to re-do Tutorial 7 (Excav. of an NATM Tunnel) through Python remote scripting. I would like to perform the "extendtosymmetryaxis" and "symmetricclose" command through python…

Dear Support Team/Plaxis We are using Plaxis 2D version 20.04. Got some questions for modelling the HDD installation using line contraction. In two scenarios, the volume loss will be 50% and 100% (full collapse), so we set Cref=volume loss=50% for…

Hi, I am a rock engineer getting started with Plaxis. As many rock engineering people I am more familiar with the Rocscience package but I am starting to see great potential on PLAXIS. In the Rocscience package there was a possiblity to model gravity…

Hi all, We are facing to a inner reinforcement tunnel design in order to minimze tensions in existing plain concrete lining. So, we have a plaxis 2d model where existing linning is modeled as a soil volume (elastic model) and future reinforcement as…

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…

Dear plaxis users, When you want to analyse a TUNNEL in structural programs such as SAP2000, where the soil cannot be introduced directly to the software, If the tunnel model is created in Plaxis 2D, how can I obtain the earth pressures acting on…
