Plaxis is a software system based on the finite element method used to solve the problems of engineering geotechnics, design and engineering geology. It is a package of computing programs for the finite elemental calculation of the stress-deformed state of structures, foundations and bases.
PLAXIS is one of the most popular software in Europe and Russia.
The most advanced tool on the Plaxis 3D market has a large set of functions for modeling various geotechnical tasks that cannot be solved using Plaxis 2D. Fully three-dimensional geometry is modeled using CAD drawing tools, as well as using the intersection, merging and copy options, which allows you to quickly and efficiently create finitely element models.


Year / Release Date: 2020
Version: 20.0.0.119 BUILD 119
Developer: Bentley Systems
Developer website: Plaxis
Blossomy: 64bit
Interface language: English
Tabletka: present
System requirements:
Operating system
Supports: Windows 8 Professional 64-Bit, Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit
Recommended: Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit (with the latest update packages (Service Pack))
USB port and internet connection
For versions to Plaxis CE V20, the port is required for the hardware protection key.
For versions with PLAXIS 2D / 3D CE V20 requires an Internet connection.
Video card
Minimum requirements: GPU Graphic memory capacity 256 MB, OpenGL version 1.3
Developers recommend avoiding embedded video cards. It is recommended to use an external NVIDIA GeForce or Quadro video card with a minimum of a 128-bit systemic bus and 1 GB of RAM or an equivalent decision from ATI / AMD.
CPU
This is one of the most important factors that affect the speed of work in PLAXIS.
Minimum requirements: dual-core CPU
Recommended: four-core CPU
The higher the processor frequency, the better. According to the developers, when using more than eight nuclei there is no significant gain in the settlement time.
HDD
At least 2 GB of free space in the section where Windows temporary files are stored (TEMP), and 2 GB of free space in the section where projects will be stored. Large projects may require much more free space in both sections. To ensure maximum performance, make sure that the TEMP directory and the project directory are in the same section of the disk.
RAM (RAM)
This is one of the most important factors that affect the speed of work in PLAXIS.
For 2D: Minimum 4 GB.
For 3D: Minimum 8 GB. For medium models of 16 GB. For large models - from 32 GB.
The greater the model, the more RAM is required.
Video mode
Minimum requirements: 1024 x 768, 32-bit color palette
Recommended: 1920 x 1080, 32-bit color palette
