Reduce your costs and steel use in offshore wind farms
Lower the steel, fabrication, transportation and installation costs of your monopile foundation project with PLAXIS Monopile Designer. Enhance your projects with design methods developed to reduce your steel requirements, lowering the overall costs of offshore wind farms and giving you an edge in a highly competitive industry.
KEY BENEFITS
Improve design and development with PLAXIS
Reduce costs
Using smart design, you could reduce the embedded length of piles by up to 35% and overall steel, fabrication, transportation, and installation costs.
Improve accurately
Use the PISA design method as a powerful way to make your designs more efficient and effective.
Simplify your workflow
Use Monopile Designer with PLAXIS 3D to automate generating and calculating 3D models or to calibrate your 1D model.
Analyse layered soils
Conduct 1D analyses of monopiles in layered soil by combining multiple sets of soil reaction curves from homogeneous profiles.
Validate your designs
Automate the generation and calculation of a FEM model to verify monopile geometry and validate your 1D design or homogenous and layered profiles.
Automate everything
All functionality is available through a Python scripting interface, enabling you to fully automate and integrate your design process.
PRODUCT PLANS
An integrated workflow addition
PLAXIS Monopile Designer
PLAXIS Monopile Designer is a finite element software for monopile foundations. It transfers the results of the PISA Joint Industry Research Project to your daily engineering practice, reducing the amount of steel – and overall costs – of your monopiles. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or in connection with PLAXIS 3D.

PLAXIS 3D Interoperability
PLAXIS Monopile Designer is fully interoperable with PLAXIS 3D. You can use it as a stand-alone application with predefined soil reaction curves (rule-based design) or with the most advanced and widely used geotechnical software solution when extracting them numerically from 3D FEM models (numerical-based design). Together, PLAXIS Monopile Designer and PLAXIS 3D, automate the entire process of generating and calculating 3D models, deriving, normalising, and parameterising soil reaction curves, and extracting them to your 1D model. Interoperability with PLAXIS 3D requires Geotechnical SELECT Entitlements.
