How to derive py curves from plaxis, when the soil at top of the pile collapses before the bottom is stessed to a meaningful degree?

I am trying to derive py curves from Plaxis 3D, modeling piles with volume elements. But I am faced with a logical problem: If the bottom of the pile is to experience a high stress then yields,...

In Plaxis3D, how do I filter all the soil nodes that touch the solid pile interface?

I want to extract pressure and displacement data to construct py curves for a single pile. I know that displacement are shown at nodes and pressures at stress points, but for both of these...

Why do earthquake specters show that acceleration on rock is larger, for lower frequencies, than that on clays, but the 1986 Mexico shows otherwise ?

I added the following comparison to show what I mean.

How does Abaqus Maximum Principal Stress Damage differ from the regular yield stress?

I am trying to retrieve the K1 coefficient with an Abaqus XFEM model for a steel plate (E = 200,000 MPa and Poisson ratio = 0.3). The Tenacity of the steel is 45MPa√m. I have no information...

What are exactly Plaxis inaccurate plastic points?

I am using Plaxis 8.2 and a when performing Phi-C reduction, I often get a number of inaccurate plastic points that is above the maximum permitted, and hence my study will not converge. What are...
