Complete 3D Geotechnical Finite Element Software

Perform three-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics with PLAXIS 3D Suite. This easy-to-use finite element package is used worldwide by top engineering companies and institutions in the civil and geotechnical engineering industry on projects of all types, ranging from excavations, embankment and foundations to tunneling, mining, and reservoir geomechanics. Make your complex modeling easy with a range of CAD-like drawing capabilities and extrude, intersect, combine, and array operations.

PLAXIS 3D Suite also includes the following modules:

 • PLAXIS 3D Dynamics for dynamic loading modeling
 • PLAXIS 3D PlaxFlow for time dependent groundwater analysis

CAPABILITIES

Create 3D finite element models
Efficiently create models with a logical geotechnical workflow. Define everything from complex soil profiles or geological cross-sections to structural elements, such as piles, anchors, geotextiles, and prescribed loads and displacements. Perform a realistic simulation of the construction process with staged construction. Easily extract the necessary information to judge the soundness of their design with powerful post-processing capabilities.

Analyze the effects of vibrations in the soil
Analyze the effects of man-made or natural seismic vibrations in soil with PLAXIS 3D Dynamics. Perform analyses on the effects of vibrations in the soil from earthquakes, pile driving, vehicle movement, heavy machinery, or train travel.

Perform time dependent groundwater analysis
Assign time-dependent variation or fluxes to water levels, model boundaries, or soil boundaries to simulate various complex hydrological conditions.
