Most PLAXIS 2D users rely on borehole logs, CAD tools, or 2D cross sections to interpret subsurface conditions. But when ground conditions become complex, 2D assumptions often lead to uncertainty and missed risks.

This three-part webinar series introduces Leapfrog Works, a powerful 3D geological modeling tool that enhances your PLAXIS 2D workflow. By visualizing and refining geology in 3D before analysis, you gain clearer insights, reduce interpretation errors, and improve the reliability of your geotechnical models.

Through real-world projects, live demos, and step-by-step workflows, discover how Leapfrog Works helps PLAXIS 2D users make smarter design decisions with confidence.

Part One: An integrated design workflow for Porto Metro 3.0 Expansion using Leapfrog Works and PLAXIS

Wednesday, September 17, 2025
10:00 AM Central European Summer Time

Still relying on CAD-based interpretations or static 2D sections in your geotechnical analysis? This session shows why that’s no longer enough. Discover how Leapfrog Works enables geotechnical engineers to visualize the ground in 3D, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen their analysis with data-driven subsurface models.

We’ll explore a real-world case study from AYESA—a global leader in engineering and technology—featuring the Porto Metro expansion. Cláudio Dias , AYESA’s head of ground engineering and tunnelling, and Ana Marina Sanchez de la Riva, geotechnical engineer, will walk through the complete workflow developed for one of the new metro lines.

You’ll see how the team integrated geotechnical investigation data— including boreholes with SPT and RQD values, DPSH tests, geophysics, and cartographic inputs— into a Leapfrog Works geological model. Learn how this 3D model directly informed PLAXIS 2D numerical analyses, enabling more reliable and optimized designs for tunnels and underground structures.

Part Two: Leapfrog Works in Action: Building Geological Models That Power Geotechnical Decisions

Wednesday, October 15, 2025
10:00 AM Central European Summer Time

Take a closer look at Leapfrog Works and how it helps you build dynamic 3D geological models tailored for geotechnical workflows.

This live demonstration will walk you through:

  • Setting up models with typical borehole and CPT data.
  • Visualizing lithologies and subsurface conditions in 3D.
  • Using cross sections and serial tools for interpretation.
  • Updating your geological models dynamically as new data arrives.
  • Reporting and exporting insights for your team and clients.

This session is ideal for PLAXIS users who want to see how Leapfrog Works fits into their daily work.

Part Three: The Perfect Synergy: Bringing Geometry from Leapfrog Works into PLAXIS for Stronger Geotechnical Designs

Wednesday, November 12, 2025
10:00 AM Central European Time

Discover how Leapfrog Works and PLAXIS 2D work together to take your geotechnical analysis to the next level. ​

This session focuses on the workflow, showing you how to:​

  • Export geological cross sections from Leapfrog into PLAXIS​.
  • Ensure correct file formats and model setup​.
  • Update your PLAXIS model if and when the geology changes.​
  • Use Leapfrog-derived insights to make better design decisions.​
  • We’ll also showcase real-world infrastructure projects where this synergy saved time, avoided losses, and improved results. ​

If you’re already using PLAXIS, this is the session that connects the dots.
