Permitted Uses

Golder Associates (Hong Kong) used PLAXIS to conduct geotechnical analysis for tunneling, dismantling, and excavating, saving three months on construction. GEO5 is a software suite, providing solution for majority of geotechnical tasks.Individual programs have the same user interface and communicate with each other, while each program verifies definite structure type.

Condition in new PLAXIS version In PLAXIS, soil properties are stored in the material data set. Mohr-Columb model was selected as the material model and the soil properties obtained from the tests( Table 4.1) were given as input parameters. Oisson’s ratio of 0.3 was considered. The initial phase is defined with the excavated slope geometry. The purpose of this research project is to compare the student versions of FLAC, PLAXIS and SLOPE/W and their use in Geotechnical stability analysis. FLAC is a software package using the FD method; PLAXIS the FE method and SLOPE/W the LE method. How to download and install Plaxis full part 1 (Plaxis 2D)Link download:2D, Plaxis.

Documentation + Support Restrictions

PLAXIS (the company) was purchased by Bentley in 2019.
Versions of 'pre-Bentley' PLAXIS, ending with 2D 2019 and 3D 2018, use a hardware lock and license server for licensing.
Beginning with version 2020 (a.k.a. 'CONNECT Edition'), licensing is done via the same method as the rest of the Bentley products: users can follow the instructions for Bentley software to create a Bentley login and enter our NCSU school code, and licensing is granted based on these credentials.

Additional Usage Notes

PLAXIS 3D usage is restricted to members of Dr. Gabr's group in CCEE.

For members of Dr. Gabr's group who want to use PLAXIS 2020 or newer:

You will first need to create a Bentley account (if you don't already have one) using the installation instructions document located here:
Bentley software.
Your Bentley account will allow you to download the installer directly from Bentley.
When you run any Bentley software, it requires that you log in with your Bentley account via the CONNECTION Client. Because there are a limited number of licenses, we restrict access to Dr. Gabr's group via these accounts. Email the ITECS Service Desk at eoshelp@ncsu.edu to request access. Once we have the OK from Dr. Gabr, we will add you to the access list.
Once this has been done, you will be able to open the PLAXIS software on your computer.

A note on PLAXIS 3D v21: Version

After upgrading to PLAXIS 3D v21, you may receive a message that the software is only a trial. The reason is that there are different levels of PLAXIS and the incorrect one is selected by default. Follow the below steps to select the correct version, 'Ultimate':

When you start PLAXIS 3D, you are presented with a small popup: 3D PLAXIS Licensing Information. Click the Configure licenses button.
On the resulting popup, select PLAXIS 3D Ultimate and then click Accept.
PLAXIS should now start with the correct level ('Ultimate') and correct license ('Academic'). You can check this in the Bentley Licensing Tool utility under the Start Menu.

For members of Dr. Gabr's group who use PLAXIS 2019 or older:

Plaxis Student Version 2020

Email the ITECS Service Desk at eoshelp@ncsu.edu to request access. Once we have the OK from Dr. Gabr, we will assist you in installing the software.
Note that the PLAXIS 2D 2019, PLAXIS 2D 2018, and older licenses expired on 31 March 2020.
