Hi all,

Is there a way to plot the Tsai-Wu failure criteria in ansys APDL in 2D? When defining failure criteria I have to specify the strenghts in z-direction but since Im only working with shell elements consisting of layers of small thickneses I just want to calculate the Tsai-Wu in 2d and not 3d.

thank you
