Hi all

I have composite layers reinforced with steel for attaching other equipment. Ply1 and the last ply is steel and defined as Isotropic material. All plies in between are composites and defined as orthotropic. When I try to post-process results, I can't get ply results from that particular region. How do I mix Tsai-Wu failure cr. and vMises? Anyone with any Ideas?
Thanks for any hints.
