If a PLAXIS project file (*.P2D) is selected, a small bitmap of the corresponding project geometry is shown in the file requester to enable a quick and easy recognition of a project.

It is generally not necessary to enter such a directory because it is not possible to read individual files in this directory. Besides this file, additional data is stored in multiple files in the sub-directory.
