composite curing

[jwalant86]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to simulate the cooling process of thermoplatics in abaqus.
I am getting the results with shell elements but when i am using solid composite elements, it gives an error stating 'LAYERED MATERIAL PROPERTIES CANNOT BE USED WITH THESE ELEMENT TYPE'.
Also, I have read, i cannot use solid composite in abaqus...

If anyone can help me out or suggest something..

Thanking you...

ABAQUS forum would be a better bet especially you question is not about a composite.
