CFRP tube mysterious result

CFRP tube mysterious result

CFRP tube mysterious result

(OP)
Hello

at first thanks for your help.
My simualtion is running now with partially good results.
For the layer one, which all the pictures refer to, i calculated a stress in x-direction of 223,5 N/mm^2 and in y- direction of -18,9 N/mm^2 with the Classic Laminat Theory. The stress in z-direction is 0, which fits to my calculations.
These results apprear in big parts of the tube, but in some parts their value is the right value multiplicated with -1.
Is this because of the orthotropic material properties of the CFRP?
To my constraints: the nodes from z= 0 to z = 30 mm are constrained with all six degress of freedom. The nodes at the other end are coupled by RBE3 with a master node in which the torque (torque is the only load) is lead in. By the RBE3 command i coupled all degress of freedom from the slave nodes with the master node.

Thanks for your help!
