Structural elements in Plaxis


Plates and shells

• 3 or 5 noded line elements

• 3 degrees of freedom

• Elastic or elastoplastic behaviour

• To model walls, floors, tunnels


Input parameters for plates

• Flexural rigidity

• Normal Stiffness

• Elements thickness


Plate weights


Plate weights for tunnels


Fixed-end anchors


Node-to-node anchors


Anchor material properties
