Fast and efficient finite element model creation and analysis The user-friendly interface of PLAXIS 3D guides the user to efficiently create models with a logical geotechnical workflow. Via Boreholes users can define complex soil profiles or geological cross-sections. In the Structures mode, structural elements, like piles, anchors, geotextiles, and prescribed loads and displacements can be defined. Via Staged Construction users can perform a realistic simulation of the construction process. Powerful post-processing allows users to extract the necessary information to judge the soundness of their designs.

PLAXIS 3D is a user friendly 3d geotechnical program offering flexible and interoperable geometry, realistic simulation of construction stages, a robust and reliable calculation kernel, and comprehensive and detailed post-processing, making it a complete solution.

We have information here on how you can do that. Perform three-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics with PLAXIS 3D. Whether you are working on projects that are simple or complex, or you are working on excavations, embankments, and foundations or tunneling, mining, and reservoir geomechanics, this finite element package has what you need. Engineering companies and institutions in the civil and geotechnical engineering industry count on PLAXIS 3D's range of CAD-like drawing capabilities and extrude, intersect, combine, and array operations. Accurately model the construction process by activating and deactivating soil clusters and structural elements in each calculation phase with staged construction. With plastic, consolidation and safety analysis calculation types, a broad range of geotechnical problems can be analyzed. Constitutive models range from simple linear to advanced highly nonlinear models through which soil and rock behavior can be simulated.

Well proven and robust calculation procedures ensure converging calculations and accurate results.
