Why this tutorial? – It’s axisymmetric (2D but represents a 3D circular footing), computationally light, and introduces key Plaxis concepts.
: Input parameters obtained from laboratory soil testing, such as unit weight, cohesion ( ), friction angle ( ), and Elastic Modulus ( 2. Selecting the Right Soil Model
: Define the title and model type. You must choose between Plane Strain (for long structures like embankments) or Axisymmetric (for circular structures like storage tanks).
Every PLAXIS project follows a standard procedural path, moving from geometry definition to final calculation:
