PLAXIS 2D/3D Training Course Outline

• Fundamentals of finite element modelling (FEA) in geotechnical engineering, possibilities and limitations.
• Hands-on use of PLAXIS 2D/3D interface and full workflow, covering all PLAXIS modes and staged construction set-up.

• Constitutive modelling essentials: Mohr–Coulomb model, drained vs undrained behaviour, and Soil Test Facility (STF) for understanding soil response and parameter influence.

• Mesh generation and initial stress conditions (K₀), 

• Modelling of structural elements: plates, embedded beams/piles, anchors, and geogrids.

• Practical tutorials on embankment stability (drained vs undrained, FoS interpretation) and excavation support systems (diaphragm wall, interfaces, prestressed anchors, pore pressure generation, dry excavation)

• Learn how to view, extract, and evaluate outputs: displacements, stresses, pore pressures, structural forces, and factors of safety (including Curve Manager review)

• Introduction to Leapfrog and its usage: how geological modelling can support and streamline the PLAXIS workflow

• Interactive exercises, short quizzes, and guided problem-solving sessions will be given throughout the course to reinforce learning outcomes.

This is a paid program. Full details, including pricing and enrollment info, will be shared after you join the waitlist. To ensure a quality training experience for all participants, course groups remain small. Once the registration limit is reached, additional registrants will be added to a waitlist and notified if a spot becomes available and upon new dates for the course.
