PLAXIS Monopile Designer CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1 | 3.7 Gb

The PLAXIS development team is pleased to announce the availability of PLAXIS Monopile Designer CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1 is a software package intended for the design of monopiles asfoundation elements for offshore wind turbines under lateral loading conditions.

Calibration with target displacement at mudline in PLAXIS Monopile Designer
In previous versions, it was only possible to impose a prescribed displacement at the top of the pile, which required guessing before calculating how that would translate into the desired displacement at the mudline. This led to calculations either taking longer than needed or some trial-and-error to find the right value of the prescribed displacement. This parameter has been replaced by a target displacement at mudline, relative to the diameter of the monopile. PLAXIS Monopile Designer will automatically estimate the prescribed displacement imposed at the top and automatically stop the analysis when the calculation reaches the target point. This makes the Calibration process much more efficient and predictable. When further combined with the Subspace accelerator, now active by default, it can lead to significant speed improvement.

New features

Renaming to PLAXIS Monopile Designer
Renamed PLAXIS MoDeTo to PLAXIS Monopile Designer.
Target displacement at mudline for Calibration
The geometry data set parameter 'imposed displacement at pile top', vmax,z=h, was replaced by 'relative target displacement at mudline', vg/Dout. This change provides more control when the calculation is completed, thereby reducing the time required for Calibration.
Updated Python environments
Updated Python environments to remove security vulnerabilities on some of the included packages.

Fixed issues
A large number of issues have been addressed, including:
[540768] PLAXIS CONNECT Edition V21.00.00 calculation does not start due to a license issue
[478397] sand-soil reaction curves charts had wrong labels
[436227] it was not possible to export pile thickness variation to SACS
[436201] improved converting projects created with previous versions

New features

Subspace accelerator in phase settings
Subspace acceleration is enabled for generating PLAXIS 3D models. The new subspace acceleration reduces calculation time for Calibration Benchmarks significantly.
Copy - pasting of data into tables
Improved copy-pasting of data into tables. It is not necessary for the dimensions of source and target selections to be identical.

Fixed issues
A large number of issues have been addressed, including:
[504922] Fixed a bug when trying to view PLAXIS 3D results several times.
[500785] Pile base forces are now considered when exporting data to SACS.
[500779] The last known save location is stored during export to SACS.
[500758] Fixed infinite loop when opening incompatible projects using shortcuts.
[379431] H-v and M-θ axis titles in result charts are improved.
[378915] Specific windows such as the splash screen and progress dialog, are now displayed on the same screen as the main window.

PLAXIS Monopile Designer(formerly PLAXIS MoDeTo) introduces an enhanced design method for monopile foundations. It transfers the results of the PISA Joint Industry Research Project to daily engineering practice. PLAXIS Monopile Designer enables dramatic reductions in the amount of steel of each monopile and, as such, in the overall costs of any wind farm. It can be used as a stand-alone tool for the rule-based design method and in connection with PLAXIS 3D for the numerical-based design method.

We are happy to announce that in April 2021 we released all-new PLAXIS versions: CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1. This includes PLAXIS 2D, PLAXIS 3D, PLAXIS 2D LE, PLAXIS 3D LE, PLAXIS Designer, and PLAXIS Monopile Designer.

CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1 adds functionality to improve productivity by improving the numerical process for non-linear systems using the new subspace accelerator, and we can use a new API to automate Limit Equilibrium slope stability analyses. On top of that, we made running analyses for offshore analysis of suction buckets easier using the new PLAXIS-SACS Suction Bucket Analysis tool.

By consolidating the product lines for geotechnical analysis since Version 21, we can now make big steps in interoperability between the Finite Element solution and the Limit Equilibrium solutions. The new consolidated PLAXIS product line also offers great new functionality with new constitutive soil models, e.g., NorSand, PM4Silt, and a new way to deal with unsaturated soil strength. We invested in improvements on tunnel CAD import. And we added a calculation convergence log to better understand the numerical process.

System requirements - PLAXIS

Operating System requirements
Supported: Windows 8 Professional 64-bit, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Recommended: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit (all with latest service packs applied)

Internet Connection
For the Subscription Entitlement Service (SES) Licensing used in all PLAXIS CONNECT Edition software an internet connection is required.

Graphics card
Required: GPU with 256 MB OpenGL 3.3
Bentley strongly recommends avoiding simple onboard graphics chips in favour of a discrete GPU from the nVidia GeForce or Quadro range with at least 128-bit bus and 1 GB of RAM, or equivalent solution from ATI/AMD.

Processor
Required: dual core CPU
Recommended: quad core CPU

Hard Disk
At least 2 GB free space on the partition where the Windows TEMP directory resides, and 2 GB free space on the partition where projects are saved. Large projects may require significantly more space on both partitions.
For best performance, ensure that the TEMP directory and the project directory reside on the same partition.

Random Access Memory (RAM)
Recommended for PLAXIS 2D: at least 4 GB. Large projects may require more.
Recommended for PLAXIS 3D: at least 8 GB. Large projects may require more.
