To Send to PLAXIS 2D
The first step of sending the physical cross-section to
PLAXIS 2D is to define stations where a cross-section is created and specify
the model boundaries. The user will navigate to Analysis And Reporting tab and
select the Analytical Cross Section option. As shown below:
The command requires the following inputs:
- Station – the station along the alignment where the user wants to create a cross-section cut, it can be graphically defined by moving the graphic line along the alignment or by directly typing the station in the input field.
- Left/right/top/down offset – the offsets related to the WP (working point) defined in the tunnel cross-section so that a model boundary is created, having as 0,0 coordinates the coordinates of the WP.
- If the cross-section intersects multiple tunnels, the user may choose to send the additional tunnels information by selecting the tunnels;
In the newly opened window, the user will be able to specify the following options:
