PLAXIS 3D Readme

New in PLAXIS 3D CONNECT Edition V22 Update 2

Hoek-Brown model improvements

Added tension cut-off and tensile strength parameters to the material parameter input. Safety calculations for Hoek-Brown materials now correctly reduce the tensile strength as well, providing more realistic safety factors.

Improved robustness of import and intersections

Components for the import and intersection capabilities in PLAXIS 3D have been upgraded, improving the robustness when dealing with imported geometry, applying the intersect and recluster command and the automatic intersection when moving to the Mesh mode. The robustness of importing triangulated surfaces via OBJ and STL file format was also improved.

Removed Academic watermarks

For users of Academic licenses, PLAXIS no longer displays watermarks in Input and Output.
