List of new Plaxis - Webinar videos; 2015/2016


This List will be updated as new Plaxis webinars have been held and announced!
Here are some dates for upcoming webinars which have been announced by Plaxis:

• Free Webinar: Embankment on Rigid Inclusions, 3rd of Feburary 2016

Previous Webinars:
1. Free Webinar: Tunneling in Rock
This webinar gives an introduction and overview of the tunnel and rock modelling capabilities in Plaxis. This webinar includes both Plaxis 2D and Plaxis 3D.  A short demonstration of a multi-stage tunnel-excavation in Plaxis 2D is included.The demonstration also demonstrate the modelling of rock bolts.

Control Plaxis-modules that should load in Plaxis

Control Plaxis-modules that should load in Plaxis (Flexible/Network licenses).

To not load and therefore not allocate the Flow- or Dynamics-module easy toggles can be created.

These toggles switched on/off easily and enables for persons who needs the specific module to have access to these. If no toggles exists the first person loading Plaxis will load the extra modules witch can be problematic if you have multiple Plaxis standard licenses and only one or a few modules.

Files without file-extensions are created (one for each module) with the specific names as below: 

PRETEND_NO_TRANSIENT_FLOW

PRETEND_NO_DYNAMICS

These are created in the folder “toggles” (“\PLAXIS 2D\toggles”) if this folder does not exist; create it. The toggles can be switched off by deleting them or changing the name ex. (NO_PRETEND...).

A toggle for the Thermal-module will be precented here if one is found.

Slide 7.0 release

The new version of Slide by Rocscience is released!

The new release offers the user a lot of new features amongst these features is the new Multi-scenario modelling which allows the user to create, edit and analyse multiple Slide models within a single document file.

Some of the other new features in the new release of Slide:

• Soil Profile
• Sarma Block Analysis
• Seismic Analysis Options
• Newmark Seismic Analysis
• Material models
• Pile support

There are a lot of new features in the new release of Slide and the full list of changes and updates from previous versions can be found on the Rocscience webpage.

New Midas GTS NX - Webinar videos

List of new Midas GTS NX - Webinar videos; 2015/2016


This List will be updated as new Midas GTS NX webinars have been held and announced!
Here are some dates for upcoming webinars which have been announced by Midas:

•  Expert Webinar - Evaluating the stability of landslide and geostructures with numerical analyses - 1 April 2016

Previous Webinars:
1. Limit Equilibrium vs 2D FEM vs 3D FEM of Embedded Retaining Wall in Birmingham New St

This webinar is interesting and provides a summary of research project with a contiguous piled retaining wall analysed in Midas GTS NX in both 2D and 3D. The selected geometry, construction staging and site conditions are from a project where excavation where made for a rainwater tank in Birmingham.

2. Evaluating the stability of landslide and geostructures with numerical analyses
This webinar goes through the methods and paths for assessing the stability of landslide and geo-structure. Both simple and complex cases are shown with step-by-step description in both 2D and 3D.

Interesting lectures by Dr. Evert Hoek

The Art of Tunnelling in Rock

Tunnelling in rock presents a large number and special challenges to the geotechnical engineer. In this lecture, Dr. Evert Hoek briefly presents a few interesting cases and examples of tunnelling around the world.
