PLAXIS Designer
3D Geotechnical Conceptual Modeler
Reduce design and analysis time, and create stunning client visuals.
Advance Design to Analysis
PLAXIS Designer conceptual models can be exported to PLAXIS 3D LE, PLAXIS 2D LE, and PLAXIS 2D numerical modeling modules for analysis in the areas of slope stability, stress/deformation, consolidation, and groundwater.
Create Stunning Client Visuals
3D conceptual designs can be captured for display to clients and review of potential designs.
Determine Construction Sequences and Volume Calculations
Generate construction sequences by building layers of material to create roads, embankments, earth dams, or user-defined shapes. Calculate volumes of material to aid in planning.

BOREHOLES AND FIELD DATA
Integrate Borehole Information and Field Data
Use Bentley's geotechnical information management applications, connect to OpenGround Cloud, and import borehole data from gINT, as well as other standard formats. Create fence diagrams and interpret complex geology.
COMPLEX 3D GEOLOGY
Represent Complex 3D Geology
Multiple 3D model-building methodologies are available, including extrusions, 2D cross-section stitching, 3D layer cake, or the material volume method.
IMPORT BOREHOLES
Easily Import Boreholes
Import lithology data from a CSV file or a gINT database into PLAXIS Designer. Start with borehole data and generate analysis results. Create boreholes manually or from import via gINT database or CSV file.
CONNECT TO THE CLOUD
Integrate Field Data
Integrated field data, such as piezometer data, can be pulled from various cloud platforms to display piezometer locations and water levels as a function of time.
You’re In Good Company
Ken Mercer, Ph.D., Mining Engineer
3rd Rock Consulting
PLAXIS Designer has some fantastic features for rapidly and easily building and editing 3D open pit models that have complex geology. Not only that, but these 3D models can be used to automatically generate and solve any number of 2D limit equilibrium models, which is an industry game changer!
