Overview

PLAXIS 3D enables geotechnical engineers to perform advanced three-dimensional finite element analysis for high-profile projects, including excavations, embankments, foundations, tunnelling, mining, and geomechanics.

Key Benefits

Work quickly and seamlessly

Intuitive geotechnical workflows with several input modes to easily create a subsurface model with structures, loads, or flow boundary conditions.

Simulate construction processes

Realistically assess stress, displacements and safety using constitutive models, a staged construction mode, and various calculation types. 

Maximise safety

Accurately model ground-structure interaction and dewatering through advanced soil and rock material models, structural elements, and flow analysis.

Analyse fractured rock masses

Use discontinuity and reinforcement elements to assess surface settlements or rock mass responses to tunnelling, mining or reservoir depletion.

Automate workflows

Automate model build up and design process or build custom applications with Python scripting to run in PLAXIS 3D.

Integrated workflows

Avoid redundant data entry by leveraging integrations between PLAXIS and other Seequent products or easily import industry-standard CAD data formats.
