PLAXIS Explained
Flexible, reliable, and risk-reducing geotechnical analysis
Use PLAXIS to perform advanced finite element, dynamics, earthquake, or seismic analysis of soil and rock deformation and stability, as well as soil structure interaction, groundwater, and heat flow. Reliably solve infrastructure challenges or facilitate steady-state groundwater flow calculations, including flow-related material parameters, boundary conditions, drains, and wells.
Products & Features
PLAXIS 2D
PLAXIS 2D is a powerful and user-friendly finite-element (FE) software for 2D analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics. PLAXIS is used worldwide by top engineering companies and institutions in the civil and geotechnical engineering industry. PLAXIS 2D is ideal for a range of applications from excavations, embankments, and foundations to tunneling, mining, oil and gas, and reservoir geomechanics.
PLAXIS 3D
PLAXIS 3D allows geotechnical engineers to conduct sophisticated three-dimensional finite element analyses for high-profile projects involving soil and rock in the civil, mining, energy and environmental sector. Analyze surface and underground excavations, shallow, pile and offshore foundations, embankments, ground improvement measures and tunnels. Consider static, dynamic or seismic loading and complex hydrological conditions with time-dependent water level and flow variations.
PLAXIS Monopile Designer
PLAXIS Monopile Designer is a finite element software for monopile foundations. It transfers the results of the PISA Joint Industry Research Project to daily engineering practice. PLAXIS Monopile Designer reduces the amount of steel each monopile requires and therefore reduces overall costs for any wind farm. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or in connection with PLAXIS 3D.
