The document discusses different structural elements that can be modeled in Plaxis including plates, shells, anchors, geogrids, interfaces, and how to define their properties and behavior. It provides details on modeling walls, floors, tunnels, fixed-end anchors, node-to-node anchors, and applying pre-stressing and weights to anchors. Ground anchors and interfaces are also covered.
