PLAXIS 2D Reference Manual
The PLAXIS 2D program is a special purpose two-dimensional finite element program
used to perform deformation and stability analysis for various types of geotechnical
applications. Real situations may be modelled either by a plane strain or an axisymmetric
model. The program uses a convenient graphical user interface that enables users to
quickly generate a geometry model and finite element mesh based on a representative
vertical cross section of the situation at hand. Users need to be familiar with the Windows
environment. To obtain a quick working knowledge of the main features of the PLAXIS
program, users should work through the example problems contained in the Tutorial
Manual....
