Simple python script created to demonstrate typical workflow of importing x y z surface data to Plaxis 3D software.
generate_point_cloud_data.py file performs the following tasks:
- Download Mount St. Helens surface data
- Generate point_cloud_data.txt file from [1] data for Plaxis 3D import
- Generate point_cloud_data.png file from [1] for Plaxis 3D validation
Plaxis3D surface.p3d is the Plaxis 3D project file with surface data already imported. Screenshot as follows:
If you want to import a Civil 3D surface to Plaxis 3D then using Toolbox->Reports->Surface->Surface Points to CSV is recommended to get raw x y z surface data.
