Orthotropic material setting CatiaV5
Orthotropic material setting CatiaV5
(OP)
Hello.
I am trying to run a FEA in CatiaV5R13 on a wood peice using the orthotropic material setting in the material properties. When running the analysis, I always get the "invalid material caracteristic" error message even thought the input values are well known and correct. Is there a secret Catia move that must be done so it works ? Even in the Help Files tutorial, there is no reference on orthotropic material setting. If I use the isothropic material setting it works but the values are way off from a wood ptototype I test benched.
Thanks in advance
