How to check different layer's strain in ABAQUS (composite)

[angelleague]

Hi guys!

Just wondering how could you check different layer's strain? I tried some settings but can only check the first ply's strain, which is the facing...

but i also need to chech the core or layer 2 3 4 etc...

anyone know how to do that?

thx

Tools-->View Cut--> Create/Edit
You can create the section view from the default coordinate system's planes or by your own defined normal. You can then probe internal nodes. Is this what you mean?

I think this should be in the output...


I created a sanwich plate and just want to see each layer's strain~ but I can just check 'layer-1''s strain~ that is my question~

Not sure about this, but it's worth a shot...For Domain select composite layup.

Yeah, I also found ''Domain select composite layup'' and creat 'composite layup' in 'part'

but the restult still showing layer-1

I think I am very close to the truth but just need one more

For others to solve this problem quicker, I would add:
