Fiber direction in a structure
Fiber direction in a structure
(OP)
Hi all,
When I go to preprocessor > section > shell > lay-up i specify for exampel that my ply would have fibers in 45 degrees direction, BUT I dont know where that direction is on my structure.
Is there any way that I can plot the fiber direction on my structure to see in which direction the fibers are oriented?
thanks

RE: Fiber direction in a structure
with +/- 45 you could worry the detail in your FE (and model countless variations of fibre orientation), or say it comes out in the wash (ie, isn't significant) and model a direction of your choice.
