3 | | -This repository contains a collection of Python scripts for automating the extraction and processing of geotechnical data from PLAXIS models. The scripts are designed to streamline the workflow for analyzing cross-section results, strut forces, wall forces, settlements, and more. They provide functionalities for batch processing of multiple models and generating comprehensive reports. |

35 | | - |
36 | | -## Usage |
37 | | - |
38 | | -### SectionVaryAlongXY |
39 | | - |
40 | | -This function prompts the user to input parameters for varying a cross-section cut along the x or y direction. It then extracts and prints the minimum and maximum normal stresses for specified phases. |
41 | | - |
42 | | -### Section_StageByStage |
43 | | - |
44 | | -This function extracts and prints the minimum and maximum normal total stresses for each phase along a specified cross-section. |
45 | | - |
46 | | -### BatchExtractSettlement_Simple |
47 | | - |
48 | | -This function allows batch processing of multiple PLAXIS models to extract settlement data along a specified y-level. |
49 | | - |
50 | | -### BatchExtractStrutForce_Simple |
51 | | - |
52 | | -This function extracts strut forces from multiple PLAXIS models and prints the results for each phase. |
53 | | - |
54 | | -### BatchExtractWallForce_Simple |
55 | | - |
56 | | -This function extracts wall forces for each phase and prints the maximum and minimum values for each force component. |
57 | | - |
58 | | -### BatchCalculate |
59 | | - |
60 | | -This function automates the calculation process for a batch of PLAXIS models, saving each model after calculation. |
61 | | - |
62 | | -### Rearrange_pdf |
63 | | - |
64 | | -This function rearranges pages of a PDF file based on the order specified in a text file. |
65 | | - |
66 | | -### RunThis |
67 | | - |
68 | | -This function automates the extraction of both strut and wall forces, and optionally generates a plot image. |
69 | | - |
70 | | -### RunSingle |
71 | | - |
72 | | -This function processes a single PLAXIS file, extracting forces and optionally generating a plot image. |
73 | | - |
74 | | -### RunAllInFolder |
75 | | - |
76 | | -This function processes all PLAXIS files in a specified folder, extracting forces and optionally generating plot images. |
| 17 | +To use the scripts in this repository, you need to have Plaxis 2D installed on your machine. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Open the Python interpreter in Plaxis Input or Output (depending on input automation or result extraction automation) to start using the scripts: |
