Plaxis 3D Features

Explore key features and workflows

3D Soil & Rock Modeling

3D Soil & Rock Modeling

Create detailed 3D geological models with layered soils, rock masses and discontinuities. Refine the mesh where your analysis needs it to capture the geometry that drives ground behaviour.

Tunnel & Excavation Design

Tunnel & Excavation Design

Design tunnel cross-sections, reinforcement and lining with the tunnel designer. Define excavation sequences and staged construction phases to assess ground response phase by phase.

Groundwater Flow & Consolidation

Groundwater Flow & Consolidation

Run steady-state and transient seepage and time-dependent consolidation in 3D. Evaluate pore pressures and settlement behaviour under real groundwater conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bimeco an authorized Bentley partner?

Yes. Bimeco is an authorized Bentley channel partner in Singapore. We quote and invoice in SGD with payment terms of up to 30 days, and our digital delivery consultants support adoption and implementation of Bentley software.

How is Plaxis 3D licensed, and how much does it cost?

The standard option is a 12-month Virtuoso subscription for one user, including 2 Keys for training or services. Plaxis 3D starts at SGD 17,320, Advanced at SGD 23,175 and Ultimate at SGD 28,410. A 3-year subscription starts at SGD 51,960 and perpetual licences are quoted on request.

What is Plaxis 3D used for?

Plaxis 3D is used for 3D geotechnical modelling, including deformation, stability, groundwater flow and tunnel or excavation design.

Can I simulate tunnels in 3D?

Yes. The tunnel designer creates tunnel cross-sections with reinforcement such as rockbolts, umbrella arches and lining, and generates excavation sequences and staged construction phases automatically.

Does Plaxis 3D include groundwater modeling?

Yes. Steady-state groundwater flow and consolidation analysis are included from Plaxis 3D Advanced. Transient groundwater flow and fully coupled flow-deformation analysis require Plaxis 3D Ultimate.
