Release: May 2022

PLAXIS 3D CONNECT Edition V22 (22.01.00.452) contains the following improvements and updates compared to PLAXIS 3D CONNECT Edition V22.00:

New features

Fixed issues

The following known issues have been fixed in this version:

• Solved: [791427] Fixed an issue in the calculation manager that prevented proper saving of the files when the calculation was finished
• Solved: [845837] Staged construction information on the embedded beam connection was not always correct. To avoid confusion, the information is currently hidden, and should be reviewed in structures mode.
• Solved: [861673] Some Output results may not consider project units in PLAXIS CONNECT Edition V22.00

A large number of issues have been addressed, including:

• [379524] Fixed an issue in the Tunnel Designer in curved tunnels when some plate segments were not added.
• [450763] Fixed an issue when PLAXIS would crash when trying to open a model in which some groups were removed.
• [466741] Improved the Jupyter notebook scripting reference and fixed some typos.
• [518340] Improved clarity in the explanation of the drainage types in the material database.
• [522101] Improvements on the cross section curves for 3D curved elements (beams and girders).
• [547960] The mesh generation would give warnings on irrelevant short length embedded beam elements. This will not be shown anymore.
• [556364] Improved side panel info for Geogrid and Anchor stiffness input values
• [624566] Fixed an issue in reopening a saved cross-section curve.
• [634710] Material manual documentation improvements for the Hardening Soil model
• [635873] The volume information in the 3D elements table now shows the correct volume.
• [726398] Reintroduced side panel information for change of permeability c_k.
• [761482] Exporting the geometry to DXF now also works in soil mode.
• [773408] Hydraulic conductivity values for Non-porous and Undrained C materials are now set to zero to be consistent with the drainage type.
• [777106] Fixed a type on the explanation of the bulk modulus and shear modulus for the UBC-3PLM model.
• [780419] Fixed an issue with opening files after removing groups in Soil or Structures mode.
• [782938] As in SS and SSC model, the parameter M is not a strength parameter, it does not belong to the Strength section in the material database.
• [784097] Reordered the parameter list in the User Interface for UDCAM-S.
• [784122] Reordered the parameter list in the User Interface for UDCAM-S.
• [794746] Fixed an issue with the Model and Selection explorer when trying to access the currently assigned soil material of a soil element.
• [803599] Fixed an issue for UDCAM-S when using the cyclic accumulation tool and updating the main material parameters.
• [804411] It is again possible to define a negative value for the incremental strength for NGI-ADP models.
• [809493] Loading SoilTest result files did not show the used material parameters and values properly
• [809499] Saving SoilTest configurations preserves file extension
• [811866] Re-introduced the Pressure Meter Test (PMT) in SoilTest for the Hardening Soil model
• [812334] Fixed an issue when reading PLAXIS files with embedded beam materail sets that contain large axial resistance tables.
• [812497] Resolved mesh generation issues in very specific cases where combined geometry contains seem-edges on reverted faces.
• [845918] PLAXIS Soiltest optimization would check only againsts the base tier, and not the currently used tier (Advanced, Ultimate). This is now resolved
