laminate stress in NASTRAN
laminate stress in NASTRAN
(OP)
I am trying to extract composite laminate stresses from NASTRAN. I have read in the NASTRAN manual that the Elements stresses options yields incorrect results. How should I go about calculating the laminate stress from the individual ply stresses?

Thanks again!

You can probably run some simple test cases. I would try it with and without bending loads and at two different z0 values.
