Certain geotechnical problems situation can only be analysed effectively by means of detailed 3D FEA models, incorporating optimised models for simulating soil behaviour and soil-structure interaction. Plaxis bv have developed a range of 3D products built on their proven, robust solver technology to assist both your general purpose and specific geotechnical applications.
The PLAXIS 3D Suite comprises the flexible PLAXIS 3D and application- specific PLAXIS 3D Tunnel and 3D Foundation programs. Available for purchase separately or as a bundle, these programs provide a complete 3D geotechnical tool kit especially designed for the three-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in tunnel, foundation and other geometrically challenging projects.

PLAXIS 3D is the next generation geotechnical FEA software for solving your most complex soil and structural interaction problems. Complete flexibility over geometry is achieved by combining a new, intuitive and highly productive user interface and 3D automatic tetrahedral meshing with the robust...
The 3D Dynamics module is an extension to PLAXIS 3D. The Dynamics module offers the tools to analyse the propagation of waves through the soil and their influence on structures. This allows for the analysis of seismic loading as well as vibrations due to construction activities.
