Ansys and Composite Material (Density/Ply)

[rociogp]

Hi all

My name is Rocío and I need some
help with composite material and Ansys program. I have done a model of part of
a coach' structure using shell 99 and I have a problem. I need to know the weight
of the models but I'm not sure where I must to introduce the density properties of UD ply.
I have the density of the skin according to the volume fibre/matrix. If I
introduce it’s in the material proprieties directly, and apply the density to each ply so the model is
very heavy and if I introduce it in the real constant (in /ADMUSA, dividing the
total density by the total ply numbers???) the model is very light. Where can I introduce the density material and
how?

Thank for all.

you should try to ask in the Ansys forum.
