PLAXIS 3D, combined with PLAXIS Monopile Designer, empowers engineers to model complex soil-structure interaction and deliver optimized monopile designs that meet both performance and safety standards. Monopiles support nearly 80% of offshore wind turbines, and their size continues to grow with rising turbine capacities. This trend necessitates the use of advanced geotechnical tools to ensure efficient and reliable foundation design.

In this session, we will walk through a practical design workflow: from geotechnical soil data to defining the design space and verifying the 1D model, ensuring it accurately reflects the performance of the final design.

You’ll learn how to:

Apply the PISA method for both rule-based and numerical-based design
Define and explore the design space based on geotechnical input
Validate and refine 1D models to ensure reliable performance

Speakers: Vasileios Basas Senior Technical Support Engineer, Geotechnical Analysis Seequent, Miquel Lahoz Senior Product Manager - Geotechnical Analysis, Seequent
