Prescribed Displacements in Plaxis 2D Analysis

To properly analyze the displacement of a geometric structure, some points must have defined displacements, whether fixed at zero displacement or given a specific non-zero value. The document discusses performing a plastic calculation to model the settlement of a footing under load by using Plaxis 2D's automatic load stepping procedure.

To avoid the situation where the displacement of the geometry are undetermined, some points

of the geometry must have prescribed displacements. The simplest form of a prescribed
displacement is a fixity (zero displacement), but non-zero prescribed displacements may also
be given.
Refer to the information for Deformations and Water in Model explorer (Initial Phase)

1.5 Phase 1 Footing


In order to simulate the settlement of the footing in this analysis, a plastic calculation is
required. Plaxis 2D has a convenient procedure for automatic load stepping, which is called
