From setting up pile geometries to running parametric studies, engineers often spend more time clicking than thinking. This webinar introduces a practical approach to automating PLAXIS using AI-assisted Python, with a focus on pile applications. Drawing from real project experience, we will demonstrate how engineers can move from manual model setup to a structured, script-driven workflow that enables faster iteration, improved consistency, and better use of engineering judgment.

Through a live walkthrough, we will show how Python can be used to interact with PLAXIS, automate model generation, and streamline analysis processes. The session is designed for engineers who are curious about automation but may not know where to start, bridging the gap between traditional geotechnical modelling and modern digital workflows.

What you will learn:

How to connect Python with PLAXIS and navigate the scripting environment. How to automate pile model setup (geometry, materials, and staging). How to structure inputs (e.g. Excel/JSON) to enable repeatable workflows. How automation enables parametric studies and scalable design exploration.
