Hello!
I have intermediate knowledge of Python and have mostly used Python for Data Science. I would like to know how can I utilize Python in geotechnical engineering. If anyone can suggest to me relevant Python packages as well as tutorials for geotechnical engineering specific to numerical modeling, I will be very thankful.
Regards

Hi Dr. Aali Pant,
PLAXIS 2D/3D has a nice Python interoperability/API entry.
See here for more details and cookbook examples: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45393/api-python-scripting---plaxis
The latest example we added is actually very interesting: Automatically generated cross-sections of embankments
https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/53143/automatically-generated-cross-sections-of-embankments
We also did a high-level demo in this on-demand webinar (you would need a Bentley Account for this):

Cyclic Triaxial testing
Q&A
Someone
Post Your Answer
- 23 Jan 2021
As my load cell showed an initial value of around 300N, zeroing was done. After zeroing, a negative value (-5 N) is read. Can I proceed with a negative value for further calibration? Or else how to fix this issue? It is given in the manual that we should not proceed with a negative value or tension load.

If you zeroed the load when there was physically zero load, you should be ok. You can apply a load back to zero and calibrate from there, if you are planning to be in the compression stage always. Also, 5 N maybe an insignificant value for your load cell?

Yes Sir. I did zeroing when there was no load physically. Thanks for your reply.
