Introduction
Engineering workflows are changing rapidly. Many geotechnical engineers and PLAXIS users regularly face repetitive and time-consuming tasks — extracting results, post-processing outputs, modifying parameters, rerunning sensitivity studies, or manually repeating similar workflows across multiple models.
While automation can dramatically improve efficiency, many engineers hesitate to adopt programming because it often feels intimidating, overly technical, or disconnected from everyday engineering practice.
This course has been specifically designed to bridge that gap.
AI-Assisted PLAXIS 2D/3D Automation with Python is a practical, engineering-focused course that teaches participants how to build powerful PLAXIS automation workflows using Python and Artificial Intelligence — without needing to become programmers.
The course adopts a highly practical and progressive approach, combining:
- Ready-to-use engineering scripts that participants can apply immediately
- Reusable automation building blocks (“engineering mosaics”)
- Real workflows developed from practical geotechnical projects
- Structured collaboration with Artificial Intelligence to develop and adapt scripts
- Practical debugging and workflow validation strategies
Rather than teaching programming theory in isolation, the course focuses on solving real engineering problems efficiently.
Participants will progressively learn how to automate common and advanced PLAXIS tasks, including result extraction, post-processing, material modifications, repetitive workflows, reporting, and custom engineering automation.
The course philosophy is based on small, progressive wins.
Participants will quickly gain practical tools that can immediately improve productivity, while progressively building confidence to create and adapt their own automation workflows.
What makes this course different?
This course has been intentionally designed around the needs of busy engineering professionals.
Participants will benefit from:
-
- Immediate practical value through ready-to-use engineering scripts from Day One
- Small progressive wins designed to build confidence gradually
- Real engineering workflows developed from actual projects
- Reusable engineering mosaics that can be combined and adapted to suit different applications
- AI-assisted workflow development, helping participants extend beyond prebuilt scripts
- Low intimidation, high practicality, with no programming background required
Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Use ready-to-run engineering scripts to solve practical PLAXIS problems
- Build reusable automation workflows using Python and PLAXIS scripting
- Extract and process engineering results efficiently
- Modify and automate repetitive numerical modelling tasks
- Collaborate effectively with Artificial Intelligence to develop and adapt workflows
- Build their own growing library of reusable engineering automation tools
This is a highly practical, example-driven course designed for engineers who want to work smarter, save time, and unlock the automation potential of PLAXIS — without needing to become software developers.
