Plaxis is a range of finite element packages intended for 2D and 3D analysis of deformation, stability and groundwater flow in geotechnical engineering.
Geotechnical applications require advanced constitutive models for the simulation of the non-linear and time-dependent behaviour of soils. In addition, since soil is a multi-phase material, special procedures are required to deal with hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic pore pressures in the soil. Although the modelling of the soil itself is an important issue, many geotechnical engineering projects involve the modelling of structures and the interaction between the structures and the soil. Plaxis is equipped with special features to deal with the numerous aspects of complex geotechnical structures.

PLAXIS v9 is a robust and user-friendly finite element package developed for geotechnical engineering. It allows for 2D analysis (plane or axisymmetric models).

PLAXIS v9
is commercially available since September 2008 and succeeds to the v8 version.
Check out the
new features of Plaxis v9 and don't hesitate to contact Plaxis about purchase conditions and updates (for Plaxis v8 users).

PLAXIS v9 ADVANTAGES

  • user-friendly interface (Windows©), for data input, stages definition and results analysis.
  • fully automatic mesh generation.
  • full set of material behaviour for soils (linear elastic, Mohr-Coulomb, Hardening Soil, Soft Soil, user-defined soil models...).
  • groundwater flow and consolisation analysis.
  • structural elements (plates, geogrids and anchors) and soil-structure interaction.
  • safety factor analysis (phi/c reduction).
  • associated Terrasol services: training, technical support, technical assistance, etc.
