Plaxis v8 is a finite element package intended for the two dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering.
Geotechnical applications require advanced constitutive models for the simulation of the non linear, time dependent and anisotropic behavior of soils and/or rock. In addition, since soil is a multi phase material, special procedures are required to deal with hydrostatic and non hydrostatic pore pressures in the soil.
Although the modeling of the soil itself is an important issue, many projects involve the modeling of structures and the interaction between the structures and the soil.
Plaxis is equipped with features to deal with various aspects of complex geotechnical structures
