Plaxis

Plaxis (sometimes stylised in all caps; a contraction of PLasticity and AXIalSymmetry, is a computer program, originally written by René de Borst as part of his MSc thesis R. de Borst, Numerical Prediction of the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Soil Masses, Report 220, Geotechnical Laboratory, TU Delft, 1982, 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.
