Catia Composites Geo-Lvl
Catia Composites Geo-Lvl
(OP)
Hey Folks
Can someone explain the Geo-Lvl concept from stack-up files from zones in Catia Composites Design?
I have two screenshots. The spreadsheet shows the stack-up from zones output and the explosion is the output after plies-from-zones. This is easy enough to manipulate by swapping excel rows which moves around the sequences. However, what I've never understood is the Geo-Lvl column. It can't be trying to tell me what Ply 9 is on the same plane as 6.. because it isn't. What are the other options?
Thanks!

This is option is for drop-offs. The Geo-Lvl is the 'relative length' of the ply in the drop-off.
So forget about the stacking sequence. Just imagine a pyramid of plies in a transition zone. The longest ply would have the lowest Geo-Lvl (say 1) and the shortest would have the highest (say 10). And again, you would only see this difference if you had length changes - my example above did not and hence was driving me crazy.
Et voila
