Description

Every project presents its own set of challenges, yet conducting geotechnical analysis can be straightforward with the right tools. PLAXIS 2D streamlines the process by offering rapid computational capabilities. It enables sophisticated finite element or limit equilibrium analysis concerning soil and rock deformation and stability, including aspects like soil-structure interaction, groundwater, and thermal dynamics. As an exceptionally powerful and intuitive finite-element (FE) software, PLAXIS 2D specializes in 2D analyses relevant to geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics. Used globally by leading engineering firms and academic institutions, PLAXIS is a staple in the civil and geotechnical sectors. The software proves to be versatile, accommodating various applications such as excavations, embankments, foundations, tunneling, mining, oil and gas projects, and reservoir geomechanics. Notably, PLAXIS 2D encompasses all necessary features for conducting deformation and safety assessments for soil and rock, without delving into complex factors like creep, steady-state groundwater, thermal flow, consolidation, or any time-dependent phenomena. This makes it an invaluable resource for engineers focused on efficiency and accuracy in their analyses.

Description

Subjecting your designs to real-world scenarios can significantly enhance product quality while simultaneously minimizing the costs associated with prototyping and physical testing. The SOLIDWORKS® Simulation suite offers a user-friendly collection of structural analysis tools that employ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to forecast how a product will behave in actual physical conditions by virtually evaluating CAD models. This comprehensive portfolio is equipped with capabilities for both linear and non-linear static and dynamic analyses. With SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, you can refine your designs by assessing mechanical resistance, durability, topology, natural frequencies, as well as examining heat transfer and potential buckling issues. Additionally, it facilitates sequential multi-physics simulations to enhance design accuracy. On the other hand, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium allows for an in-depth assessment of designs concerning nonlinear and dynamic responses, dynamic loading conditions, and composite materials. This advanced tier also features three specialized studies: Non-Linear Static, Non-Linear Dynamic, and Linear Dynamics, ensuring a thorough evaluation of your engineering projects. By leveraging these powerful tools, engineers can achieve greater design confidence and innovation.
