Connected Delivery / ELS Design
Excavation & Lateral Support Design
Connect staged excavation data, PLAXIS runs on the Windows worker, wall and support assumptions, design checks, and calculation records in one engineering record.
- Best for
- Geotechnical and structural engineers coordinating staged excavation design and PLAXIS runs.
- Outcome
- A staged ELS record connecting build inputs, PLAXIS run state, design checks, and calculation evidence.
- Runs in
- Browser workspace + Windows worker - PLAXIS required for run stage
- Requirements
- Build and design use the AEIS worker; PLAXIS execution requires the configured licensed desktop environment.

Evidence surface
Inspect the working evidence.
Review the product capture, then use the checklist for what a qualified engineer can verify before handoff.
- Staged excavation build data
- PLAXIS run on the licensed worker
- Wall and support design checks
- Calculation records for the sequence
PLAXIS execution cannot run in the browser alone and depends on the licensed worker environment; ground, wall, support, staging, and design decisions remain engineer-reviewed.

FAQ
Before you evaluate this product.
Common questions about Excavation & Lateral Support Design, execution requirements, and engineer responsibility.
Can PLAXIS run in the browser?
No. PLAXIS execution requires the configured licensed desktop environment through the AEIS Windows worker. AEIS coordinates build, design, and evidence around that stage.
What does the engineer still decide?
Ground, wall, support, staging, and design decisions remain engineer-reviewed. AEIS does not replace geotechnical or structural acceptance.
What is the primary outcome?
A staged ELS record that connects build inputs, PLAXIS run state, design checks, and calculation evidence for the delivery sequence.
