PLAXIS 2D/3D is a powerful and user friendly finite element package intended for two-dimensional 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. Applications range from excavations, embankment and foundations to tunnelling, mining and reservoir geomechanics.
One package, many applications
PLAXIS is equipped with a broad range of advanced features to model a diverse range of geotechnical problems, all from within a single integrated software package.
The most efficient tool for geotechnical modelling
PLAXIS uses predefined structural elements and loading types in a CAD-like environment. This empowers the user with fast and efficient model creation, allowing more time to interpret the results.
PLAXIS 3D is a powerful and user friendly finite element package intended for three-dimensional 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. Applications range from excavations, embankments and foundations to tunnelling, mining and reservoir geomechanics.
The most advanced tool on the market
PLAXIS 3D has advanced features to tackle modelling challenges in the most complex geotechnical projects, that cannot be solved with PLAXIS 2D.
Complex modelling made easy
Finite element modelling in full 3D has never been easier with a range of CAD-like drawing tools and extrude, intersect, combine and array operations. It s almost like sculpting.
Robust
The result of calculations and simulations is reliable and reproducible. PLAXIS is the industry standard for geotechnical design, that is why many challenging projects have been realised with PLAXIS.
Advanced Soil Models
Many advanced soil models are pre-installed in order to represent e.g. non-linear, stress and time-dependent behaviour of soil and rock masses. You can also add your own (user defined) soil models.
User Friendly
The self-explanatory, easy to use software interface allows a smooth workflow and eases the use for both beginners as well as experts in the field of geotechnical finite element modelling.
Customer Support and Services
Our Customer Support and Services teams consisting of geotechnical experts, embodies our commitment to you. They take responsibility, care about your problem and will always come with a solution.
Cost effective
The software pays for itself before the end of your first project. Every subsequent project delivers additional ROI.
Efficient
The ratio of the useful work performed to the total time expended is maximal.
