Plaxis 2D

Plaxis 2D is a tool that is mostly used to plan the laying of foundations for the design and construction of houses and other structures. In addition, the software is an assistant for soil and landscape investigation in case of construction of other heavy structures. The application includes a significant number of auxiliary options that help to perform complex geotechnical calculations and eliminate inaccuracies in the design process. In general, the software is a collection of all sorts of utilities, each of which is designed to solve its own tasks. For example, the software product includes functions that plan mining operations.

Purpose and functionality

The client's most important task is to calculate the stress-strain position of the foundation/foundation/building system. The outcome of this calculation has a direct impact on the subsequent construction process. In order to obtain the most accurate results, Plaxis 2D uses the finite element method for axisymmetric tasks. The working area of the program is somewhat similar to a computer-aided design system. This means that the user is shown an already made project, which allows you to make adjustments through options from the appropriate menu. In general, interact with the software is very comfortable, so it is often used by students studying geoengineering. Anyway, this software is also used by those specialists who work with really intricate systems.

Versions

The application is available in basic and advanced versions. The VIP edition of the service has a wider functionality. Both the first and the second version have a conditionally free distribution model.
