The user can also inspect the Fourier and Response spectra and Arias intensity of their original and scaled signals in the Input program. A duplicate button allows the users to quickly make copies of each scaled signal. When selecting table input for accelerations in the displacement multipliers window for Dynamic multipliers, users are now offered tools to scale the dynamic signal by means of an overall scaling factor or a scaling type based on a maximum multiplier. Scaling tools and plots for accelerations (Dynamics)

The main project is then opened again and the stored data from the site response analysis can be used for further modelling. After calculation, results are extracted for each of the signals used and stored in a subfolder of the main project. In the site response model, separate calculation phases are generated for the defined earthquake signals and dynamic boundary conditions are set. It allows the user to directly access the Dynamic multipliers window to import or define earthquake data and to launch an automated site response analysis for a selected borehole, from the existing PLAXIS model. In the borehole window a site response menu has been added.

Site response analysis tool (Dynamics & VIP) Get up to date on the new functionality below. The output is extended with curve plots generated from arbitrary cross-sections, and for rock modelling, a UDSM for Salt and the cluster-based field stress property were made available. With the new PLAXIS 2D 2019 release, a site response analysis tool, multiplier scaling and plotting tools for the Dynamics module have been added.
