PLAXIS 3D allows geotechnical engineers to conduct sophisticated three-dimensional finite element analyses for high-profile projects involving soil and rock in the civil, mining, energy and environmental sector.
Analyze surface and underground excavations, shallow, pile and offshore foundations, embankments, ground improvement measures and tunnels. Consider static, dynamic or seismic loading and complex hydrological conditions with time-dependent water level and flow variations.
Take your geotechnical projects to the next level with PLAXIS 3D.
PLAXIS 3D includes the most essential functionality to perform everyday deformation and safety analysis for soil and rock. This comprehensive software for the design and analysis of soils, rocks, and associated structures makes it easy to model in full 3D.
Reliably solve infrastructure challenges
Easily generate and scale construction sequences for excavations. Facilitate steady-state groundwater flow calculations, including flow-related material parameters, boundary conditions, drains, and wells. Use interfaces and embedded pile elements to model movement between soil and foundation, such as slipping and gapping. Get trustworthy results with realistic soil models and a complete portfolio of visualization abilities.
Get realistic assessments of stresses and displacements
To meet the unique geotechnical challenges of soil structure interactions, PLAXIS 3D offers different calculation types, such as Plastic, consolidation, and safety analysis. A range of material models for predicting the behavior of various soils and rock types, combined with robust calculations, helps ensure reliable results.
