This lesson demonstrates the applicability of PLAXIS to agricultural problems. The potato field lesson involves a loam layer on top of a sandy base. Regional conditions prescribe a water level at the position of the material interface. The water level in the ditches remains unchanged. The precipitation and evaporation may vary on a daily basis due to weather conditions. The calculation aims to predict the variation of the water content in the loam layer in time as a result of time-dependent boundary conditions.
This exercise requires a PLAXIS 2D Ultimate license.
The provided *.p2dxlog file contains all the commands to generate the model. With a Bentley Geotechnical SELECT Entitlement [GSE] license, you can use the link to save as the file (remove the extension .txt) and with the Commands runner open to execute all commands in one go, see also this instruction.
