Plaxis (sometimes stylised ''PLAXIS'',
Plane strain and
axial symmetry, indicating the geometric types handled in the original code) is a computer program that performs
finite element analyses (FEA) within the realm of
geotechnical engineering, including deformation, stability and water flow. The input procedures enable the enhanced output facilities provide a detailed presentation of computational results. PLAXIS enables new users to work with the package after only a few hours of training.
Plaxis
BV was acquired by the American
Bentley Systems, Inc. in 2018.
