Movie #2 Importing CAD data into PLAXIS 3D


In PLAXIS 3D 2016 the CAD import functionality has been improved, supporting *.DXF,
*.STEP and *.brep formats. NURBS surfaces, solids, splines can now be imported
easily. Native Autocad solids can be imported without the need of discretizing them
into triangulated objects first.

This does not only save you time in Autocad, it has benefits for PLAXIS as well.
Because of the absence of triangulation, the PLAXIS 3D mesher can more easily
create better meshes with less elements for both simple and complex projects, by
using the mathematical representations of the imported objects.
