PLAXIS VIP
PLAXIS VIP是在传统软件永久许可证之外的附加服务体系。具备PLAXIS VIP用户可以获得最新版本的Plaxis软件，也可以得到VIP特别的软件模块，还能获得更增值的技术服务。
软件升级
PLAXIS VIP能保护用户在Plaxis软件上的投资，因为它能使你的软件始终是最新版本的。每次新版本的发布， VIP服务是自动获得许可的——不能比这更方便的了——小版本的升级包可以从我们网站上得到，大版本升级将自动发送给用户。
最新的开发模块
特别扩展的开发模块只提供给PLAXIS VIP会员。这些扩展模块提供全新功能，完全与基础软件兼容并易于学习。对于PLAXIS VIP会员，PLAXIS 2D 和 PLAXIS 3D提供如下扩展模块。

PLAXIS Expert Services
PLAXIS Expert Services are professional services exclusively meant for users of Plaxis software. The purpose of this service is to help our clients on any FE modelling related issue such that they can be assisted in their simulation work and improve their own modelling capabilities.
Upon request of our customers we will provide high-level technical assistance with advanced finite element modelling issues, selecting model parameters, defining and executing calculations, interpreting and reporting of analysis results. We also offer fit-for-purpose training courses which can be customized to your specific requirements.
PLAXIS Expert Services will boost Plaxis customers analysis skills and increase their productivity resulting in a faster return on their software investment.
Expert Service Examples
A collection of serveral projects completed through PLAXIS Expert Services can be found under E-PLAXIS.
Analysis projects: Plaxis engineers are available to assist basic-to-advanced analysis consulting projects for a wide range of geotechnical applications. This includes creation of finite element models, definition and execution of calculations, interpretation and reporting of FE results.
Fit-for-purpose courses: If you have several people to be trained, it may be cost-effective to hold a training course at your location. Additionally we can customize the course content based on your specific requirements. This will allow you to tailor both content and agenda to initiate either your first analysis projects or to develop your engineers skills in very specific areas around your own model examples.
Mentoring: With this service, you will benefit from on-call simulation expertise. It will help ensure that your simulation strategy is appropriate by providing review of your model set-up or simply brainstorming for ideas to improve your analysis.
In this context we can review FE models built up by our customers. Advices on finite element modelling issues, including meshing, definition of material model parameters, definition of calculation phases along with results interpretation will then be provided. Reviews of Plaxis-related sections in customer geotechnical reports can also be performed.
We offer mentoring plans that range from hourly engagements to yearly fixed-price contracts.
Conditions
- PLAXIS Expert Services are fee-based services.
- Plaxis will only accept PLAXIS Expert Services requests for projects that can be modelled with the standard Plaxis software products.
- The client should be in possession of an official Plaxis license of the applicable software, obtained from Plaxis or one of its official agents. This is to guarantee that the client can assess themselves all details of a model for which Plaxis has provided PLAXIS Expert Services.
