At Plaxis we are very good at computational geomechanics and focused on developing, marketing and supporting the Plaxis finite element software applications for soil and rock analyses.
Our software is used all over the world by thousands of engineers faced with challenging construction projects (for example foundations of high rise buildings, tunnels, and dikes).
