Thanks for the reply.
Assuming a membrane-bending coupled laminate, in terms of material property definition on a MAT2 card, how would the [B] terms be incorporated in addition to membrane material stiffness and bending material stiffness?
Further research in the forums got my answer for the MAT2 membrane and bending material stiffnesses:
membrane stiffness: [A]/t
bending stiffness: [D]/(t^3/12)
P.S. Sorry for the cross posting... now realize it's against policy!

Hi all, I'm a frequent reader but this is the first question I've posted. I have severe confusion regarding stiffness values to use for MAT2 card 2D anisotropic manual material input in Nastran/Patran.
