PLAXIS Monopile Designer CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1

PLAXIS开发团队很高兴宣布PLAXIS Monopile Designer CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1的可用性，该软件包旨在设计用于横向载荷条件下的海上风力涡轮机的单桩基础要素。

在PLAXIS Monopile Designer中以泥线目标位移进行校准
在以前的版本中，只能在桩的顶部施加一个预定的位移，这需要在计算该位移如何转换为泥线处的所需位移之前进行猜测。这导致计算花费的时间超过了所需的时间，或者经过反复试验才能找到规定位移的正确值。相对于单桩直径，该参数已替换为泥线处的目标位移。PLAXIS Monopile Designer将自动估计在顶部施加的规定位移，并在计算达到目标点时自动停止分析。这使校准过程更加有效和可预测。如果进一步与默认启用的Subspace加速器结合使用，则可以显着提高速度。

PLAXIS Monopile Designer（以前称为PLAXIS MoDeTo）介绍了一种用于单桩基础的增强设计方法。它将PISA联合工业研究项目的结果转移到日常工程实践中。PLAXIS Monopile Designer可以显着减少每个单桩的钢量，因此可以减少任何风电场的总成本。它可以用作基于规则的设计方法的独立工具，也可以与PLAXIS 3D一起用作基于数字的设计方法的工具。

我们很高兴地宣布，我们在2021年4月发布了全新的PLAXIS版本：CONNECT Edition V21 Update1。其中包括PLAXIS 2D，PLAXIS 3D，PLAXIS 2D LE，PLAXIS 3D LE，PLAXIS Designer和PLAXIS Monopile Designer。

CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1通过使用新的子空间加速器改善了非线性系统的数值过程，增加了提高生产率的功能，并且我们可以使用新的API来自动进行极限平衡边坡稳定性分析。最重要的是，我们使用新的PLAXIS-SACS吸水桶分析工具使对吸水桶海上分析的运行分析更加轻松。

通过合并自版本21开始的岩土工程分析产品线，我们现在可以在有限元解决方案和极限平衡解决方案之间的互操作性方面迈出一大步。新的合并后的PLAXIS产品线还通过新的本构土壤模型（例如NorSand，PM4Silt）提供了强大的新功能，并提供了一种处理不饱和土壤强度的新方法。我们投资于隧道CAD导入方面的改进。并且我们添加了一个计算收敛日志，以更好地理解数值过程。

The PLAXIS development team is pleased to announce the availability of PLAXIS Monopile Designer CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1 is a software package intended for the design of monopiles asfoundation elements for offshore wind turbines under lateral loading conditions.

Calibration with target displacement at mudline in PLAXIS Monopile Designer
In previous versions, it was only possible to impose a prescribed displacement at the top of the pile, which required guessing before calculating how that would translate into the desired displacement at the mudline. This led to calculations either taking longer than needed or some trial-and-error to find the right value of the prescribed displacement. This parameter has been replaced by a target displacement at mudline, relative to the diameter of the monopile. PLAXIS Monopile Designer will automatically estimate the prescribed displacement imposed at the top and automatically stop the analysis when the calculation reaches the target point. This makes the Calibration process much more efficient and predictable. When further combined with the Subspace accelerator, now active by default, it can lead to significant speed improvement.

PLAXIS Monopile Designer (formerly PLAXIS MoDeTo) introduces an enhanced design method for monopile foundations. It transfers the results of the PISA Joint Industry Research Project to daily engineering practice. PLAXIS Monopile Designer enables dramatic reductions in the amount of steel of each monopile and, as such, in the overall costs of any wind farm. It can be used as a stand-alone tool for the rule-based design method and in connection with PLAXIS 3D for the numerical-based design method.

We are happy to announce that in April 2021 we released all-new PLAXIS versions: CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1. This includes PLAXIS 2D, PLAXIS 3D, PLAXIS 2D LE, PLAXIS 3D LE, PLAXIS Designer, and PLAXIS Monopile Designer.

CONNECT Edition V21 Update 1 adds functionality to improve productivity by improving the numerical process for non-linear systems using the new subspace accelerator, and we can use a new API to automate Limit Equilibrium slope stability analyses. On top of that, we made running analyses for offshore analysis of suction buckets easier using the new PLAXIS-SACS Suction Bucket Analysis tool.

By consolidating the product lines for geotechnical analysis since Version 21, we can now make big steps in interoperability between the Finite Element solution and the Limit Equilibrium solutions. The new consolidated PLAXIS product line also offers great new functionality with new constitutive soil models, e.g., NorSand, PM4Silt, and a new way to deal with unsaturated soil strength. We invested in improvements on tunnel CAD import. And we added a calculation convergence log to better understand the numerical process.
