Perform two-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics. Engineering companies and institutions in the civil and geotechnical engineering industry count on PLAXIS for a variety of projects. From excavations, embankments, and foundations to tunneling, mining, and reservoir geomechanics, engineers rely on PLAXIS as their go-to finite element analysis application. Use predefined structural elements and loading types in a CAD-like environment for fast and efficient model creation, allowing you more time to interpret the results.

Analyze the effects of man-made or natural seismic vibrations in soil with PLAXIS 2D Dynamics. Perform dynamic analyses in a user-friendly, efficient, and accurate way regardless of the vibration source or scale. Accurately calculate the effects of vibrations with a dynamics analysis when the frequency of the dynamic load is higher than the natural frequency of the medium. PLAXIS 2D Dynamics is an add-on module to PLAXIS 2D. Low-frequency vibrations can normally be calculated with a pseudo-static analysis by default available in PLAXIS. However, for more advanced seismic analysis, choose the PLAXIS 2D Dynamics module.

We all know that taking groundwater flow into account in your geotechnical, environmental, and hydrological engineering projects is critical. Go beyond the default options of steady-state groundwater flow analysis of PLAXIS, with the PLAXIS 2D PlaxFlow add-on module. Perform time-dependent groundwater analysis and simulate the unsaturated, time-dependent, and anisotropic behavior of soil, as well as simultaneously calculate changes in pore pressures and deformation by performing a fully-coupled flow-deformation analysis.

Integrate thermal analysis seamlessly with PLAXIS 2D Thermal add-on module. PLAXIS is equipped with specialized capabilities to deal with changing soil properties due to temperature change, enabling engineers to anticipate and react to potential stability issues, such as foundation challenges in arctic areas. When the effects of heat flow on the hydraulic and the mechanical behavior of soils and structures need to be taken into account in geotechnical designs, you can count on PLAXIS. Perform full thermal-hydro-mechanical coupled analysis by taking advantage of the PLAXIS 2D PlaxFlow module as well.

Perform two-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics with PLAXIS 2D Suite. This powerful and user-friendly 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.

Perform three-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics with PLAXIS 3D. Whether you are working on projects that are simple or complex, or you are working on excavations, embankments, and foundations or tunneling, mining, and reservoir geomechanics, this finite element package has what you need. Engineering companies and institutions in the civil and geotechnical engineering industry count on PLAXIS 3D`s range of CAD-like drawing capabilities and extrude, intersect, combine, and array operations.

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. PLAXIS 3D Dynamics is an easy-to-use, add-on module to PLAXIS 3D; so, when you need something that goes beyond the low-frequency vibrations, this is the choice for you. PLAXIS 3D Dynamics module can handle more advanced seismic analysis than what is available by default in PLAXIS and can accurately calculate the effects of vibrations with a dynamics analysis when the frequency of the dynamic load is higher than the natural frequency of the medium.

Go beyond the default options of steady-state groundwater flow analysis of PLAXIS with the PLAXIS 3D PlaxFlow add-on module. Simulate the unsaturated, time-dependent, and anisotropic behavior of soil with PLAXIS 3D PlaxFlow. Simultaneously calculate changes in pore pressures and deformation by performing a fully-coupled flow-deformation analysis. Plus, the Flow-only mode excludes displacements and stresses from the calculation if you are only interested in groundwater flow, making this application easier to use.
