Plaxis 2D is a widely used finite element analysis software designed for geotechnical engineering and soil-structure interaction analyses. It allows engineers and researchers to simulate and analyze various geotechnical problems in two-dimensional space.Geotechnical Applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Updates and Support: The availability of updates and technical support could vary, and some users have expressed concerns about the responsiveness of the software provider to addressing issues or providing timely updatesLicense Cost: Like many specialized software tools, PLAXIS 2D comes with a licensing cost. Depending on the user's budget or project requirements, this could be a point of concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Working with PLAXIS brings me great pleasure! This software is incredibly intuitive and has the capability to replicate a wide range of challenges encountered in Geotechnical Engineering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is overall excellent. One thing I am dissatisfied with the material properties determined through test results due to lack of clarity regarding the test procedure, standards and units. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Plaxis has the most advanced and at the same time easy-to-use interface. The GUI has a lot of respectable features that other software offer. The software technical manual is very detail-oriented and the user can understand what's going on with the software. Many research papers and examples are also available on the internet.

Some drafting tools are less compared with other software like midas.Result window is little confusing at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Plaxis 2D provides a user-friendly interface that allows engineers and geotechnical professionals to easily create, modify, and visualize complex 2D geotechnical models. The software offers a range of modeling options, including soil, rock, and structural elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it's complex for beginners to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really enjoy working with PLAXIS. It is a user-friendly software that could almost simulate any problems involved in Geotechnical Engineering. Furthermore, the inclusion of Python programming is a beneficial ability that can help designers with more complex modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the visualization module (output module) can be more improved to ease the use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For me, negative pore water pressure is very helpful.
I like the template soil parameters, but you should be really careful about the numbers and units.
In the design part, I like the engineering way of thinking in providing stress and strain curves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like the material properties by test results since it is not very clear about the test procedure and standards and units.
I don't like the graphical interface. especially when you want to zoom into a specific region. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Plaxis is a powerful tool for assessing and calculating geotechnical problems. With this tool you can modelize step-by-step calculations considering all phases of construction.
The soil models included are capable enough to represent the soil behaviour, specially the soil model Hardening-soil (H-S) and Cam-Clay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With the last version (Connect Edition) some features (specially Python scripts, macros, etc) have moved from standard license to premium ones, known as GSE (Geothechnical Select Entitlement). These features are not new and have been on standard license for years. This has happened once Plaxis company was bought by Bentley. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is very user-friendly. It has multiple options to assign the same command which is quite impressive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has limited options in vertical drain modeling as there is no such option to take into account the physical and hydraulic properties of the drain in the calculation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
