These modes are specifically defined for Soil or Structural modelling.

With PLAXIS 3D, complex geometry of soil and structures can be defined in two different modes. It is equipped with features to deal with various aspects of complex geotechnical structures and construction processes using robust and theoretically sound computational procedures. PLAXIS 3D is a finite element package intended for three-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering. Although the modelling of the soil itself is an important issue, many projects involve the modelling of structures and the interaction between the structures and the soil. 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. Geotechnical applications require advanced constitutive models for the simulation of the non linear, time dependent and anisotropic behavior of soils and/or rock. It offers the tools professionals need in today’s and tomorrow’s world of high-tech building to analyse complex projects. It is a robust and user-friendly finite element package, developed for Geotechnical Engineering. PLAXIS 2D program including the 2D Dynamics and 2D PlaxFlow modules make up a finite element package intended for the two dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering.
