PLAXIS Designer

Software for creating 3D geotechnical conceptual models

Request a quote

PLAXIS Designer is an easy-to-use application for 3D conceptual models that can help meet the challenges of merging and analyzing data. PLAXIS Designer allows you to visualize and manipulate geotechnical site data such as topology, boreholes, piezometers and other field instrumentation data, as well as engineering-prepared construction and design.

Creating visually interesting 3D conceptual models and importing data efficiently

Creating visually interesting 3D conceptual models and importing data efficientlyΒ 

PLAXIS Designer is a program for creating complex 3D geometries with an interface that is both sophisticated and simple to use. It allows you to visualize all the components of the 3D model in detail. PLAXIS Designer is used in the civil and mining industries to create complex geotechnical structures such as: tailings dams, dykes, mining pits, piles, TSFs, among others. It uses OpenGround data and numerous other input formats. Export your models to the PLAXIS 3D LE, PLAXIS 2D LE and PLAXIS 2D numerical modeling modules.Β 

  • Save modeling timeΒ 
  • Create construction sequencesΒ 
  • Produce visuals for clientsΒ 
  • Perform material volume calculationsΒ 
  • Represent complex 3D surfacesΒ 

Why Choose PLAXIS Designer?

From design to analysis

Conceptual models can be exported to PLAXIS 3D LE, PLAXIS 2D LE and PLAXIS 2D, for analysis of slope stability, stresses, deformations, consolidation and groundwater. You can also import boreholes from a gINT database or create them manually.Β 

Construction sequences and volume calculations

Generate construction sequences by building layers of material to create roads, embankments, earth dams or user-defined shapes. Calculate material volumes to aid planning.Β 

Integrate field data

Integrated field data, such as piezometer data, can be extracted from various cloud platforms to display piezometer locations and water levels as a function of time.Β 

Useful Information

System requirementsΒ 

Operating SystemΒ 

Windows 10 or Windows 11Β 

ProcessorΒ 

Computer or workstation with Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon processorΒ 

MemoryΒ 

4 GB (minimum) and 8 GB (recommended); generally, more memory means better performanceΒ 

Screen resolutionΒ 

1024 x 768 pixels or higherΒ 

Hard diskΒ 

2 GB free disk spaceΒ 

VideoΒ 

Minimum VRAM of 256 MB and compatibility with OpenGL 3.3Β 

Additional information

PLAXIS Designer is an easy–to-use application for creating 3D conceptual models that can help you overcome the challenges of merging and analyzing data. With Bentley’s open modeling environment, PLAXIS Designer helps you visualize and adjust geotechnical site data, including topology, boreholes, piezometers and field instrumentation data, as well as construction and engineering design.Β
