Digital Integration in Tunnelling Design: connecting PLAXIS, OpenTunnel Designer, and Leapfrog Works
This webinar will explore how seamless digital integration and BIM-driven processes between PLAXIS, OpenTunnel Designer, and Leapfrog Works can transform tunneling workflows from ground model development to advanced numerical analysis. We will demonstrate how 3D geological models developed in Leapfrog Works can be efficiently transferred into OpenTunnel Designer for alignment and tunnel structural definition, and subsequently into PLAXIS for detailed soil-structure interaction analysis, both in PLAXIS 2D and 3D.
The session will highlight practical strategies for improving data consistency, reducing manual rework, enhancing model traceability, and enabling more informed design decisions. Attendees will gain insight into building a connected, interoperable tunneling workflow that increases efficiency, reliability, and collaboration across geotechnical and design teams.
This webinar's highlights include: How to set up advanced soil-structure interaction models in PLAXIS using the interoperability with Leapfrog Works and OpenTunnel Designer. How to prepare advanced geological 3D models using ground investigation data and Leapfrog Works. How to model complex tunnel geometries and sequence using OpenTunnel Designer.
