Introduction
PLAXIS 2D and 3D are some of the world’s favorite software for geotechnical analysis. PLAXIS are user-friendly geotechnical finite element analysis software for engineers to model, simulate, analyze, and deploy geotechnical projects.
PLAXIS features a large range of ground constitutive models and structural elements that allows to model different geotechnical problems, such as:
– Foundations.
– Excavations.
– Diaphragm Walls.
– Tunnelling.
– Embankments.
– Earthquake Analysis.
– Slopes.
For this reason, the present course “Introduction to Geotechnical Analysis in PLAXIS 2D and 3D” has been developed to support geotechnical engineers to improve or start a career in geotechnical design and modelling using PLAXIS powerful finite element analysis.
The course is divided into 6 modules and has a duration of approximately 60 hours, covering both Main Geotechnical Analysis both in PLAXIS 2D and 3D and concludes with a Course Final Assessment.
Objectives
The professor, Cláudio Cabral Dias, Head of Ground Engineering and Tunnelling at AYESA, aims to use his extensive international experience in the design and construction of different types of geotechnical structures, to train professional with real projects and didactic exercises, so that they can obtain/improve design skills to work in the dynamic and growing industry of geotechnical analysis.
At the end of this course, you will have the necessary training and basic knowledge to understand:
– Geotechnical Analysis Approaches.
– Constitutive Ground Models.
– Foundations.
– Excavations.
– Diaphragm Walls.
– Tunnelling.
– Embankments.
– Earthquake Analysis.
– Ground Treatment and Groundwater Control.

João Artur Pinto –
Overall, I had a positive experience with the course. Although I wasn’t able to attend the webinars or dedicate as much time as I would have liked, I still learned a lot. The content was insightful, especially in showcasing the capabilities of PLAXIS 2D and 3D. I also really appreciated how available and approachable the course teacher was—always open to questions and willing to help, which made a big difference. Despite some challenges, I feel the course added real value to my understanding.

Certainly would recommend Geo/Tunnel Engineers to attend this course as it provides good fundamental for Plaxis Numerical modelling. Cheers!
Ramiro Ignacio Luciani –
The course content is quite comprehensive and aligned with its objectives. It covers a wide range of real life cases, incorporating useful examples beyond those provided in the PLAXIS manual. The most valuable aspect is the personal advice given by the professor in each exercise. It’s a great course for clarifying the modelling approach to different geotechnical problems, thanks to the professor’s dedication and willingness to help.
MUBARAKSHA VALAVATH KALLYAPURATH –
The course content was well-sturcutured, comprehesive, and directly relevant to practical geotechnical applications. What really stood out was the instrcutor- highly knoweldgeable, engaging, and always willing to answer questions and clarify concepts. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deeper their understanding of PLAXIS.
MOUSTAFA KASSEM –
I really enjoyed the hands-on approach and practical focus of the PLAXIS 2D and 3D course. The platform is smooth and easy to navigate, and the instructors clearly have a deep passion for what they teach. Highly recommended for anyone in geotechnical engineering!
Marceli Granja –
The course is excellent for both beginners and experienced individuals who want to deepen their understanding of Plaxis modeling and its functions. I really appreciated how Claudio led the webinar sessions, as we were able to learn from his extensive knowledge of the various fields of geotechnical engineering. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in advancing their Plaxis 2D and 3D skills. Thank you very much, Claudio!
