I've already done a laminate simulation by lamination theory but, results doesn't satisfy me. Therefore I've thought to do a complete solid simulation. To use a shell element 2D surfaces are required for external layers, but CLT doesn't works in right way, because it crush every ply together and...
Hi Brian, it's just a test to understand patran limt. I've had some trouble to optimize the fiber orientation using the laminate option, so i've want to try RoM. However there is no one hex every plies but just three solid layers. Obviously the mid layer shows the core. What do you think about...
Hi All,
Making a 3D sandwich panel in Patran with plies simulated by 3D hex8 elements, I've thought a question about the reverse stack fabric. I mean, if the upper external solid has built through 4 plies [mat1/mat2/mat3/mat4], how can I reverse the stack [mat4/mat3/mat2/mat1] to make the last...
