New in PLAXIS Monopile Designer 2024.2
Release: August 2024
PLAXIS Monopile Designer 2024.2 (24.2.1144) contains the following improvements and updates compared to PLAXIS Monopile Designer 2024.1:
Compatibility notes: Due to the major changes in the material database and the unit system, PLAXIS 2024.2 will be installed alongside Version 21, instead of overwriting it. When running the calibration, GeoDS-projects created with PLAXIS CONNECT Edition 3D Version 21 will automatically be saved by PLAXIS Monopile Designer as a converted copy with the _converted suffix.
The PLAXIS CONNECT Edition V21 projects will remain unchanged.
New features
PLAXIS Python environment update
The PLAXIS Python Environment that is installed alongside the PLAXIS software has been upgraded from Python 3.8 to use Python 3.12.
Other changes and improvements
- Fixed an issue where API p-y curves for clay were not correctly calculated in the reduced resistance zone.
